I’ve started a file where I jot down ideas or links to pieces I’ve already written that can be turned into future posts. I’m also trying to always write my posts beforehand, so I can come back and improve them before I post. If I don’t have something ready, although I hate to miss a day, I don’t post. I would rather not post than post something ruched.

Thanks Noah, really appreciate your comment & encouragement. I’m glad you agree with the marinading idea, hope it goes well!

No probs Troy – glad the post helped you, and totally agree. What you talk about is definitely the step forward, let me know how it goes.

Thanks Anne, really encouraged this helped you. I cannot recommend the book enough, both books by Pressfield made a huge difference to me & I try to read them once a year if I can to remind myself. They are short books and relatively easy to read, I am sure you’ll benefit from them.

The marinading is always helpful, though obviously there are times where it’s better not to or you just don’t have time. However, the best posts are usually those you have marinaded over and given thought to. Let me know how it goes.

Heather, that’s exactly what I do now, post from a word processing program. Even then, if you rush too much you can make errors, but it definitely helps. Thanks for the comment.

Don’t worry Francesca – I think we are all guilty of it at times as writers. The reason I made the “would a major blog publish this” the first step is precisely because it’s usually the one which can make the most difference. It certainly has for me.
