Aside from life getting in the way (and that happens), it sounds like you may have a good direction in Milk Run, so maybe this is a day late and dollar short but…
I keep thinking that maybe the reason Milk Run has been eluding you is similar to South Coast sequel; you can’t “pants” it. In both cases you’re trying to get the characters to a specific point in their development, at a specific place and time. You need to quit doing that to yourself… Maybe some well applied mental judo or channeling of Cleopatra (Queen of denial) can free you up to just write.
