Okay guys, I think I've got it figured out.
One of my goals here was to find a way to post regularly even through school, and I think I've got a pretty good system going {besides that one week...we're ignoring that one week}.
Here's how you do it:
+ Still write posts the day of as often as possible
+Whenever you have a thought that you know you could blog about, open a new post, title it, and type up that idea
+As there's time, complete the idea and add pictures
Then, when the need arises, I have an almost complete post waiting for me that I add a sentence to and voila - it's ready to publish. And it's kind of funny, because that's the process that was used for this post ... it's been sitting around for months waiting to be finished. So here's proof that it works!
Having regular weekly/monthly posts {i.e. Dear Boys, High 5 for Friday, Me, Myself & I} is nice, too - one less day to worry about!
But then the problem arises when you've used all of your pre-made posts and are somewhat inspirationless...at least tomorrrow's a Dear Boys day!

P.S. I'm grateful for
+ waking up on time for the first time in a week!
+ eggs on toasted sourdough bread
+ Costco pumpkin streusel muffins...how have I been missing out on these?
that's EXACTLY what I do...I have so many scribbles for future posts waiting out there. Sometimes they sit for a long time before I have the inspiration or the necessity to finish them. I love your plan...and your posts. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnd pumpkin streusel muffins??? I think I may need to pop into Costco this week. :)
I use this method all the time on my blog (writing something down as I think of it and then fill it in later to post). I never really have a problem with coming up with posts though...usually I have too many so I just write them for weeks in advance thanks to the ability to schedule! Man I LOVE that thing!! Anyway, I'm visiting from The Sapphire Bee! You have an adorable blog and I'm now following along! :)
