I’ve been writing for the web as a blogger since before it was called blogging, and yet….I don’t blog regularly. In fact, I stopped blogging regularly before blogging was the new black.
I had a long post written about my thoughts on blogging, and how I came to be the way I am. But then it got complicated. I almost saved it as a draft.
I know better.
I have 17 drafts already saved on my blog. Saving an entry as a draft is its kiss of death.
So I am going to publish this entry, because I am through with drafting and not publishing.
There’s always tomorrow.

This is excellent news Liz. Looking forward to reading more about your knowledge and expertise. Cheers!
Thanks Kevin! Just looking to get my blogging groove back
Amen! I too am victim to a swelling draft box. I got an iPhone recently and started a site, iPhoneBenny.com. I wanted something almost exclusively mobile so I’d be more inclined to publish what I intended to publish. When I sit at a notebook or desktop, I’m so driven to make alot more of my thoughts than I initially planned. Trying to ‘sell’ them to a potential reader I guess. All I really wanted, at the core, was to share a thought I thought someone else might relate to. Well said ma’am. (btw, I LOVVVEEESS your twitter avatar. Super cute)
“Saving an entry as a draft is its kiss of death.”
Sounds like some of the greatest advice I’ve ever heard.
Thanks for the tip. I was getting to ready to ask you what’s wrong with saving a post as a draft, then I signed into my wordpress account… I realized I have 31 draft entries (they sure add up quickly), 34 if you count the ones on my phone. Point taken!
