I was reading all the posts in my Google Reader today (there were over 350 of them) and I found one that caught my eye. Daily Blog Tips posted an article “10 Simple Productivity Tips for Bloggers.” All of the tips are really good, so I encourage you to read them, but the one that caught my eye was the first one: Write more than you publish.
There are some days that I have nothing to say. Nothing. It really takes all my effort to go to the computer and write a few posts. Other days, I have all these ideas running around in my head. When those ideas are available, I start a post. I don’t publish it, but I save it for later. When I have time, I finish the post and publish it. Sometimes, I delete the post cuz it really wasn’t a good idea after all.
Here is my tip: When you have an idea, start a post. Even if it is just the title. This will help you when you have those dry spells!

Yup, that is the right advice. I have a few draft posts, all ready to be polished, re-read, and published. It certainly helps during the slow days.
Such a simple but effective piece of advice for a newcomer. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it earlier! Thanks for sharing… it’ll help me through those dry spots to have a few near finished posts on hand!
I agree. I post lots of titles when I have ideas swimming in my head. Now that I have three blogs I need start posts to keep them organized.
