Last tip Scheduling is really successful. Me and my fellow team bloggers do this a lot at http://bloggingwithsuccess.net We move around 3-4 days in advance. This helps us fight Frozen Finger Syndrome.

However, team blogging can also be used to overcome it. Sometimes your fellow bloggers give best idea for you. And if you still do not write, they can write!

I tend to write more than one post at a time. I don’t always write everything for the week in advance but I know what I am going to write about.

I am almost always at the computer so when I have an idea, I make a draft. If I’m on the subway or something I write it down on random scraps of paper in my backpack.

I always schedule my posts. I frequently doubt myself and my articles so I schedule them to publish when I am asleep so it’s too late to change my mind

@Dee – That still isn’t working?!? That is so frustrating.

I know exactly what you mean. Its the responsibility you feel, but when that lightbulb turns on hit the keyboard. If you do not have that notebook handy, video tape yourself, talk to the phone recorder etc…. Write several postings from that inspirations and schedule them to post.

Can’t agree more with capitalizing on the creative juice, get while the getting is good. The other thing I like about writing a number of posts in advance, it gives me time to edit them. The worse time to edit one’s work is right after they have written it. Give it a night and you can look at it with new eyes. Sometimes I wish I could do that with comments (missing words, mis-ordered words, wrong words spelled right).

Also, like what Dee said about keeping a notebook handy to write down thoughts as you have them.

Hi Rachel,

I certainly keep my notebook handy. And the schedule post feature in WordPress? I just love it. Actually I used to love it. It hasn’t worked on my blog since I think August. I have been through the ringer on that problem. I switched servers, switched themes, I’ve tried everything. Everyone says it’s everyone else’s fault. I hope 2.7 fixes it.

I’m a “method” type of of person too

I need help organizing my work better, I guess every blogger need that, right? lol

I like scheduling posts too, just that I don’t do it too often… sometimes I just post what comes into mind…
