Many moons ago 
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.
((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.

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.
