I’ve had a few questions regarding my thought/work process for making blog posts. I’ll probably expand on this at some point in a future post, but here’s the short answer: I don’t have one.
Sure, I might get ideas that I write down for future use (too many, as it turns out), but most of the time, I just sit down and start writing. No “creative thought process” – I don’t wait. I just get it out.
Every post is the rough and final draft. You don’t see premeditated, edited content. It’s just ideas in their raw, unadulterated form. I might pause to think of something to add, but I don’t go back (unless I’m correcting spelling).
The only time I do anything different is when I’m doing guest posts – I usually reread those once. And when I do my contributions for The Daily Get Up, I usually think of my topic (but not the post contents) in advance.
So apologies to all of those hoping for something a bit deeper and more “inside the mind of a blogger”-ish. There’s no process; I just write the posts.
Which might explain quite a few things, actually.
