Many moons ago @dwinblood went on about this great site. My reaction was ‘hell yeah!’ because I am all about opinions. Want to debate something? I am interested in conversing. As a strong willed stubborn adult. Better yet, it is a written conversation and that is my strong suit. Then I let it sit. This is where I label it ‘first world writer mom’ problems ;) I have literally thought of at least 20 things to write about. Do you see them? Nope. These brilliant topics come to mind when I lay down to unwind. My brain starts relaxing and BAM idea. ‘Oh man I’ll have to write about that tomorrow…’ I mutter as I try to shut my brain up so I can finally sleep. The next day I sit down at the computer. Time to write! I have a small window of peace and some time. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWiTuNLkZLgPzQAwc9MNScLhy68ncVd9gNCSThXAG1XQs/image.png) ((All the things meme)) Except...... I have no idea what I thought of the day before. I sit there staring at the blank. I do not want to waste people's time with just any topic. No, I want it something I actually care about, but at that moment I care about taking a break. So then I read someone's post, and depending on the length I may or may not run out of time to respond. Skip a few hours and I finally sit down again. Almost no energy as I have wrangled all tiny people into bed, and I want a break before sleep engulfs me. I look at the screen. Many more posts I can read, but I really REALLY want to write. I open a blank Google Doc to draft, and stare at the blankness. Ha! No ideas. I'm pretty sure my brain had rage quit as I prod it for what I am passionate about. ![brain_fried.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZNJv1bBbKiwZWHBztNh5zGxK3Jpu3KYzs75Ap7YhLT88/brain_fried.png) ((Source)) So I play some music and work on tidbits of coding before giving up for the night. I lay down wiped from a full day, knowing I am going to cut into my 8hrs of sleep if I stay up any longer, and an idea pops into my head. Now start from the top and repeat :P As I laughed one day at this silly cycle, I also asked myself how I am going to solve it. Writing keeps me sane, and I use it for expression. So in my new schedule, how am I going to fit it in? I am open for ideas that have worked for others! It's on my mind and I truly want to be an active non-fiction writers as much as I write fiction. ^_^ Thanks Steemers! To toss in the lols, some days I have balanced it all and feel like Superwoman. Others are more like this: ![dinnerlol.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaG8WkMWdWGhdTap3vrheyjoz6GZowrzgnUMoccxCZcCB/dinnerlol.png) ((Source))
