As much of a die hard Stevie fan that I am, I often think that she just doesn't write songs like she used to. Perhaps her reluctance to record with Fleetwood Mac is because she doesn't have much to bring to the table.
All of Stevie's best tracks since TISL have been either old songs from the vault or co-writes. Writing poems is one thing, writing songs is another entirely and I get the impression that she can't really do it on her own anymore.
Her last album had NO NEW MATERIAL at all on it.
For someone who used to be a very prolific and powerful songwriter (love her or hate her for it), it must be difficult to come to terms with your skills not being what they used to be.
