Who are you writing for? I do it for myself. When I remember that, I find my motivation.

I totally agree. A while back I spent an entire week worrying about whether my books would ever be publishable. I wrote absolutely nothing that week. A book that doesn't exist is most certainly no use to anyone.
Then I remembered why I started writing in the first place. It wasn't because I wanted to get published. It was because I want to read the story. Now I couldn't care less about what other people want or what might happen to be popular or easy to publish. I'm going to write the story I want to read in the style I like with the characters I love. I'm going to polish and edit it until it's the best it can be. Then I'm going to submit it to every good agent that takes my type of writing until one of them accepts it. If none of them accept it, then I'll publish it myself and use the experience I have in business to market it (yes, I actually use to work in sales.)
I don't write for agents or publishers or market trends. I write for myself. The only reason I even care about publishing is because I want to give others the opportunity to read what I've written.
Since I remembered why I started, I've written 90,000 words in less than two months. Less worrying = more writing (and less headaches).
Oh, I just wanted to add that I personally love vivid description both in my own writing and in the books I read. That's why Stephen King is one of my favorite authors. I doubt you're more detailed than him in your description and he doesn't seem to have any trouble selling books. (Though he did have trouble getting published. Shows you how much agents and publishers know about what will end up selling)
