Use A Desktop Blog Editor To Save Your Blog Post Ideas
ADVERTISEMENTS
What do you do when you don’t remember an idea you had for a post or when you face blogger’s block? In a recent post I had suggested to write a To-Post list for your blog but an easier way than that is to write and save a post as a draft with a rough title and points on what you want to cover on the post using a desktop blog editor like Windows Live Writer.
You can always open the draft later and continue writing the post when you have more ideas. This is also a good way to overcome blogger’s block as writing a post roughly itself may give you more ideas and may keep you writing.
The reason I do this in Windows Live Writer instead of WordPress writer is because it allows me to write offline and save and preview posts fast too. Here are the 12 reasons why I like Windows Live Writer incase you missed it.

I definitely do this everytime, even though I may online save the title for the post. It helps me go through the drafts at a later date and complete the posts

Keith- Start writing the points you want to cover on the post too, else you may forget later.

If I’m not using Wordpress’ built in editor for writing I usually opt for Word, it’s what I’ve used as my virtual typewriter for most of 20 years of journalism

Google Documents is my editor of choice. Mainly for the fact I can quickly share the articles with other people to get their ideas on it. You can even have multiple people editing the document at the same time which works fairly well.
