sourdough starter question

I have been feeding my starter every day and it doesn't float. I had one success at it early on and since then, it hasn't floated twelve hours after feeding. I have tried half and half bread and ww flour and also all bread flour during feedings. I use only purified bottled water. The starter is active enough but it seems to go a bit flat by the twelve hour mark. I just emptied it out so that just the clingy remains were left behind and fed it all bread flour. I will check it again in twelve hours. I would like to bake a loaf tomorrow, what should I do tonight so it will be ready in the morning? Stewart is about two weeks old at this point.
