Sigh....
I'm pretty sure I know why I'm having so many problems finishing my Vampire novels. I have lost my connection to the night, and night's energy is pretty vital to writing Vampires, LOL. Living here, I'm expected to maintain as close to a normal schedule as possible, because the other people in the house work regular hours, and need to go to bed at a "respectable hour." So, I can't request a late shift, or work on trying to get my employer to allow remote reps to go to graveyard shifts. I don't feel the night the way I used to. I have an emptiness there, for the caress of darkness. Now, I can stay up late on my nights off, but I end up just getting tired and losing the motivation to get anything done. I feel like things are blocked up energy-wise inside of me. I wish I knew of a place locally that does reiki or anything like that. Blarg.
