Ginger Tea, Jake wrote about this in his Grey Alien Blog. You need to quit your job.
I've always had the same problem with my jobs - all of them were energy drainers, no matter if I had to work only four or twelve hours a day in them. Whenever I got home, I could not work on my own interests anymore.
They only answer to that is quitting the good damn job.
As for the motivation problem: Yeah, it's hard to create than to consume. I have a few unfinished writing projects (novels) on my hard disk that I would love to read, too. ;-) But I also have many finished things on my hard disk as well, so at least I know that I can get there over time.
Maybe you should start working on another project. So when you do not have the drive to work on one, you can still do something for the other. It never really worked for me, though - when I have a vision, it wants out and occupies my mind almost exclusively until it is done.
