I try to write, edit and post the same day. If I don't it tends to be somewhat outdated. Since I write about my day.

i over-edit! bigtime! it’s something i’ve been working on, and have gotten better with. it started mostly because i was trying to type so fast to get my post done before the boys woke up…i’d go back to fix my spelling mistakes, and then start messing with the wording, etc. but it’s getting better.

i think NaBloPoMo has actually helped me a bit. since i’m trying to post everyday, i’m a bit more free with my writing…it just flows. plus the boys give me plenty of fodder!

i too rate situations by blogability. i’ll say “i am SO blogging that”, and hubby just rolls his eyes!

I wish I was more creative LOL. I try and think of things before hand but 9 times out of 10, most of what comes out is usually spur of the moment. I wish I was more creative LOL.

More often than not I just put up something for heck of it. A lot of times it's things I'd like to say about people or a situation and just feel like I can't.<br/>I wrote a post about friendship a few weeks ago and I would have loved to use harsher words and say it directly to the people I was talking about but I'm too chicken shit and I have to live next door to them! ;) I have such a hard time coming up with things.

I keep a notebook. With topic ideas. And I draft everything out on paper before I type it in Blogger. And I keep a list of when my reviews are due for PBN.<br/><br/>I'm a complete and total dork. <br/>BUT. The good news is that when I go back to work in Boston and have an hour+ commute, I will just take my trusty notebook along (sadly, I don't have a laptop) and will be able to write down my blog fodder. I'm sure there will be many anecdotes from my daily commute on the train. I’m old school. I keep a notebook. With topic ideas. And I draft everything out on paper before I type it in Blogger.

I write whenever I can find the time, and about whatever I'm thinking of at the moment.<br/><br/>Sometimes I get topic ideas from things other people are writing about. Like I've been considering writing about how I met my husband, after reading your story and Casey's story. Not sure yet if it's fit to post, though.<br/><br/>And I rarely go back and edit. I've never been one to do that. It all comes out as I think it, and then I hit publish. I have no method. I write whenever I can find the time, and about whatever I’m thinking of at the moment.

I think of posts all the time, but these days I ignore half of them. I used to post everyday (back then, I did dream of posts or think of them in the shower).....back when I had a job, but now I just post when I want too. I don't get a lot of hit and I doubt I'll ever get tons of comments, so I'm basically in the posting for myself kind of a deal, as I can't say I'm posting for an audiance that I really don't have.
