Currently, I have 45 posts drafted in different stages--Some have been scheduled, some have outlines, some have opening statements, some have pictures, and other have a title only. This list is not exhaustive either! There are many more topics in the works.

I plan to continue to publish at least every three days, if not sooner. It amazes me how perfect this pace is for me. I have been easily able to keep up with the schedule. The only snafu was when I didn't get the posts scheduled during a very busy 2 weeks.
Even if posts are done and ready to go, I tend not to schedule more than 2-3 at a time. This allows me to add in a new topic, or jockey the order to suit what is going on at that time.
As you may have already seen in recent posts (and from the post titles below) I am adding food and beverage topics in the mix. As a stay at home dad and caregiver I make most of the meals at home. A large portion of the way I cook bounces between "semi-home made", "pantry surprise", and the favorite around here "leftover hash". I enjoy the creative outlet from cooking and I have developed some of my own recipes (or kit bashed an existing one).

As my fingers march towards my 200th post, I am happy with the journey taken. I look forward to developing my writing skills (and thoughts) to continually improve the experience of this site.
Thanks for following!
You've been stunningly busy lately but that list blows my mind. I've got quite a few drafts clogging the place up, but just that - clogging it up. There's no real order and many if not most will probably never get finished and make it out. I can hardly imagine having this amount planned for posting and on such a range of subjects as well. It looks like being an interesting few months.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am not actually busier now than before--It's my attitude towards the blog. But to be honest, some of the posts I listed above are from projects prior to having this blog, or during the years I wasn't posting much.
DeleteWhat is working for me is not making this a chore. If I feel like writing, or taking pictures, I do it--But that doesn't mean I have to finish the post.
If I think of a topic, instead of making a note somewhere, I actually start a new post. Then in the future, when I have the incentive (or material) I add it to the post. Then when I'm done I post it.
To keep my in progress posts somewhat organized, I predate them 10 years out if it is a current/easy topic and 20 years out if it is a future/difficult topic. That way those drafts do not get lost within near-completed/published/scheduled posts, *and* they stay visible to me (and not forgotten).
I originally named the blog "Zorcon's Word" because I wanted to talk about anything on my mind. But for some reason, early on I locked into only gaming/hobby related topics.
DeleteThat is another change to my current attitude, or approach--Anything goes!!
That's a smart approach and a good tip with the scheduling too. I like the idea anything goes. James makes a similar point on getting hemmed in here at The Beat Ronin.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link! Nice article.
