After about a year on ice, my fantasy novel has returned to life and I'm making some good progress. I think I've finally figured out all my POV characters and I now have a stronger plot in mind. The strange thing is, I can't seem to write unless it's late in the night. During the day I feel like my head is full of treacle, but once the witching hour hits my creative juices flow like the Mississippi. Anything I do pen in the afternoon I end up heavily editing because on review it doesn't seem good enough.

Of course, there are several possible reasons for this. A late night energy boost from my evening meal and the tranquility of silence providing an ideal environment in which to focus are but two. Personally, I like to think I am at least part vampire. That would account for my pale complexion, fiendish charm and incredible strength. I benched 175lbs for 5 reps at the gym today.
Unfortunately my nocturnal habits have the side effect of annoying my wife, so I'm going to have to remedy the situation somehow. Maybe I need to start drinking coffee or throwing back cheap energy drinks. Anyone have any good suggestions for morning/early afternoon brain stimulation?

You also have the receding hair ;)
good to hear you are back in the saddle, I'm still available to read through if you need some feedback.
As for your nocturnal habits if it works for you stick with it. If the Mrs complains then remind her where JK Rowling is in the rich list ;)
