Destined to What?-Blog Posts Never Published
Many times, I write blog posts to “write it off my soal” (from German ” sich etwas von der Seele schreiben”).
Many times these blog posts are staying in my draft folder. They are accumulating and I am wondering what to do with them.
- Should I finish writing them?
- Should I delete them?
- Do they need to stay there until “my soul” is ready to think about and deal with them again?
- Ask the readers of these blogs, if any of these titles sound interesting enough to go back and publish them?
What do you think? How many drafts do you have on your blog? Does any title sound interesting to you?
I use Mars Edit to write my blog posts most times – and so don’t save to draft – they just get posted
It could be that maybe you’ve missed out on some interesting conversations by not posting.
I have a few drafts waiting to be published, perhaps 5 or 6–plus the embarrassing draft–consisting of one line and a web link–for which I accidentally hit “publish…” I’d like to see the one you have titled “top 10 elementary ‘learn by playing sites.’”
Many drafts. Particularly since I started using Scribefire. One day FF updated and the Scribefire app was incompatible and it barred me from re-reading for a long, long time. Now I am able to read the posts again and wonder whether I should publish them untouched.
I have lots of drafts in limbo and it makes me feel better that I’m not alone. Every once and a while I scan through and delete a few, but there are some that might make their way out onto the world wide web in the near future.
I’m interested in your Levels of Technology Integration post and the Kids Chain Around the World – Laughter Project, but take your time. Only you and your writing can decide when it’s time to be shared.
Many drafts too ….. (though not quite as many as you). I often go in and delete draft posts – particularly those that many people have already written about. I love the advice Christine Southard gives ….. Only you and your writing can decide when it’s time to be shared. That’s so true and such great advice.
