On blogging

Some folks who blog are masters. I know of one guy who posts exactly 3 posts per day which he writes over the weekend. I think his blog is automated and posts them for him. He is a blogging machine.

Some people write a post, but do not publish it immediately. They tuck it way for further editing. These bloggers are meticulous about their blog and what they have to say is often very clear, concise and articulate.

I on the other hand have two different strategies for blogging.
First. My most dominate way of writing a post is this.

- I get a bare bones idea. This is generally a word of phrase that pops into my head.

- I write a title based on what I think the post is going to be about. Since I don't actually know what I'm going to say, my titles are generally not trustworthy.

- I write.

- I publish the post.

- I look at my blog and realize that a few of the words or phrases don't make sense.

- I either ignore that fact or I edit the confusing parts.

Second. I occasionally get too many ideas for posts. So I write a few posts and save them as drafts for the next day. This rarely happens because I might second guess a post and never publish it. or I am simply to impatient to wait til tomorrow.

I totally envy folks who know what they want to say before they start writing. I envy (in a purely healthy and biblical way) people who have time to organize their blog or are able to articulate themselves.

Me, I'm too afraid I'm going to forget to write about the next idea I just had. I feel like I forget way to many as it is.
