Write Posts in Advance

"Oh no, it is almost the end of another day and I haven’t written a thing! What in the world am I going to write about?”

Does this sound like you? Come on now, be honest! Well, the above is certainly me some days. Than on the other hand there are days when it seems like I could write forever.

You’ll be happy to know there is something that you and I can do about this. “What is this?”, you ask. Glad you asked. Thought you would never ask! The solution is simple - When the writing mood hits us and we have a bit of spare time on our hands, we’ll write a few posts. Or at least two anyways. This way we’ll have articles already written up when we are too busy to blog or simply not in a writing mood.

That is exactly what Tricia, who has five blogs, does. In fact, she was in such a writing mood in the end of July that for some of her blogs she wrote two weeks worth of articles!

Tricia says that we’ll benefit in two ways by writing posts in advance.

The first way is that we will find that we have more time for other blogging related tasks. I’ll put my two cents worth of advice in as well and say that if you have website you will have more time for website related jobs also. I certainly hope that it will free up the time to get my Internet Security website up and running again anyways.

Last but not least, Tricia tells us that our blogs we publish will be “of a higher quality because [we] wern’t under pressure to post”. From what I have read in her blog, it looks like writing her posts in advance has certainly paid off this way. This certainly makes sense. If I am feeling under pressure, just don’t have the time, or simply not in the mood to post it is reflected in my writing.

We can jot down some ideas or write a rough draft of a future post or two as well. As a matter fact, we don't even have to be at our computer.
I am a nursing assistant, who has actually been on medical leave for about a year and a half, with a bad bout of depression and anxiety(I am getting better though). A couple of times while working Night Shift, which can be slow, I wrote articles for my Internet Security site with a good old pen and paper. This is a great way to utilize "free time".

I have also used posts in my old unpublished blog as drafts for some of my articles. That said and done, I have significantly edited these posts, so I really have no idea how much time I am actually saving. It sure is nice though to have some rough outlines for posts in my blog.

I don’t know if I’ll be as good as Trich and have two weeks worth of posts done in advance. However, I’ll certainly make an effort to have some posts written in advance.

That way, I should have some time freed up for blogging and webmaster related activities.

Hopefully, my posts will be of a higher quality as well. After all, don't we all want a website and/or blog with informative, high quality, and helpful content.
