Seperation Anxiety

So, I have been having a bit of separation anxiety with United Light. As many of you have noticed it is reaching it's end and while I want to keep it going I am having a hard time keeping the integrity of the story. I have cycled through 3 different options for the continuum but, I think United Light will have to end. I have written myself into a corner.


Of course I say that but, the characters won't leave me alone so I am thinking I will have to pull a Linda Leigh and create a new series following the same characters.

I am tentatively thinking of calling it Ultra Violet and having it deal with some of the more illicit parts of United Light. I do have a general idea but, I will admit the words aren't flowing and it is actually hurting me more than I thought. I am having postpartum depression or something, lol.

I can reveal now that the overarching theme for United Light was about "The existence between good and evil or light and dark." I wanted to challenge people's perceptions of every character. We think drug dealers are bad people but, can we see Sawyer as a bad person ? I posed United Light as a type of "cult" but, can they really be called bad ? That was what I was playing on.

I just realized I have writer's block.

7 Novels and 4 short stories later it was bound to happen. I need a Venti Salted Hot chocolate.

Sorry to post such a downer.
