How I plan my Blogging Time

Last week I wrote about being protective of my writing time. In that context, I was talking about my novels so today I’m talking about blog writing time.

While both those types of writing take my creative juices blogging, for me, is easier because it’s shorter. I’m writing something start to finish in 500 or fewer words (usually), so I don’t have to remember each day where I left off and where the story is headed. Not to say that I don’t have my fair share of staring at a blank screen.

I try to have my blog posts written a couple weeks in advance (try is the operative word). Prior to sitting down to write the post I usually have notes gathered which is how I got the idea in the first place.

I don’t usually outline a blog post I just sit down and write. I know it typically takes me about 2 hours from start to finish so I block out 2 hours on my calendar each day to review/edit the post I wrote the day before and write the day’s post.

I like to stay consistent and write a little each day instead of needing to write 5-blog posts all in the same day – which has happened on occasion.

It’s so important for me to plan my time each day. There are too many things I have to get done, and things can easily slip through the cracks.
