Lack of Energy

I been trying for the past two days to work up to writing something, but I keep running into this block of a giant lack of energy. Not sure what's causing it. Also not sure If I'm helping it by clocking out earlier and earlier each night.

I mean, I have something of a reason to try and start sleeping early, I have to wake up by 5:30 to be able to get to work on-time. And I'm not able to operate on less then 8 hours of sleep.

But this current block is something else. Maybe I didn't go into this with enough planning, figuring that maybe I'd try to force through it? Maybe it would actually be helpful to spend a day or two outlining what I want to write and then get back to banging out words, I might have a better idea of what I want to do.

I think one of the problems that I've had in my writing is I'm not good with crowd scenes, those things that are more then one or two characters basically set up against each other to play off of each other.

I want to try and write this, not for any real publishing reason. I mean, publication would be nice, but there's so many esoteric things about the story that are hard to get into and understand. In addition, even though I'm working with a story and world that is mostly there, I've got a amount of world-building that I need to do to divorce the character from its roots because of the amount of IP that I'm pulling from other places.

Okay, Gameplan: Spend the 5th and the 6th trying to plan out the story and see if I can find some kind of track it's in, then spend Saturday and Sunday catching up on my word count, because I'm already 3 days behind schedule if I want to actually complete this on time.
