Staring at my admin panel is a nightmare in the making. Draft entries leaping out at me like a leopard in the jungle leaping on its prey. I shrink into the fetal position just thinking about it. Where is the blog fairy, who swoops in and finishes all of your incomplete thoughts, when you need her?
Drafting an entry should only be one of those things you do in the event of an emergency, like when you have a smack down blowout fight with someone and decide to feverishly type a scathing response 2 seconds afterwards, but your better judgment whispers for you to put it in draft.
Of course, my reason for having thirty-five entries in draft couldn’t be that cogent. I write, I read, I think “what the hell is this crap” and then I hit draft as though the entry is going to magically make itself better while I sleep. For goodness sake, it’s not healthy to agonize over a blog entry that much. I blame all of my neurotic English teachers whose neurosis rubbed off on me.
Something needs to be done about these drafts, at very least, to rescue my sanity. Luckily, an idea came to me while I was charting the course for an upcoming project and realized that if I could just boil all of the entries down to three quick points (which happens to be the project’s title), then expound on each, I’d be home free. If I can do it for a 500 page novel, I’m sure I can do it for a 200 word blog entry.
By the way, this entry’s three quick points are:
- I have a lot of drafts
- I plan to strategically tackle all of the drafts.
- I’m shamelessly hinting at my upcoming project.
See, it’s working already.
