Evening Writing is difficult

I decided make blog entries at evening or night because my days are full of care giving and housekeeping. However, I have discovered a situation that makes it a bit difficult. The issues are subjects and themes; I have difficulty finding a subject in the evening and at night. Another issue is being tired and stressed.

Sometimes I open a blank document and stare at the screen. Looking at the white page is like looking at a field of new fallen snow. You look at the unmarked snow and see nothing. No animal tracks and no human tracks. The field of snow goes on into eternity without anything to indicate there is any life in the vicinity. That is what it is like to look at the page of a new document waiting for me to type something onto the page.

A blank document is as scary as a unmarked field of snow. You know that if you remain staring at the snow it might blind you, but you cannot stop looking at it. Looking at an empty page is similar. You stare at the page and hope that you can think of something to write. You stare at the snowfield and hope that you will see the track of a wolf or a rabbit.
