Awake too late

Once again, I've stayed up far too late at night working on Sacrifice. It's a little funny, really, how my normally diurnal self turns markedly nocturnal when I'm writing my vampires. I guess I need to be in the night to really feel them, as if the grainy quality of electric light vainly holding off encroaching shadows helps infuse the writing with a sense of darkness.

The ending, I think, will be strong, and it certainly sets up for the third book (working title for book 3 is Catherine's Wheel, by the way). I'm still uncertain about the rest of the book, but once I've finished the re-write and given myself a few days of mental quiet (characters permitting), I'll have a look and see what I think. It's very difficult to be truly objective about your own work, but I'm the only editor I have right now.
