I like the evenings, as they 'generally' create a calmer atmosphere for me to write and I also feel unfinished if I write early in the day. I have on occasions, written 2 posts in one day and saved one of them for the next day. But it is rare.

I reserve that time for commenting on blogs. Surely I can hold a stream of consciousness for one...oh look at that lint on the floor! <br />;)<br /><br />I used to be baffled by those who can pre-write posts. For the most part I cannot. One day I sat down with several idea's with my head. I opened multiple "New Post" tabs and jotted down quickly in each a summary of an idea. Main points, specific sentences, or just a title. Then I got to work one by one on them. By the end of it I had 5 full blog posts, and a couple spare to come back to. I then try to come up with a blog post as often as possible, knowing I can "bank it" and use it later. <br />Sometimes I even turn comments to blogs into my own blog post. Share my story on my own blog.<br /><br />This being said I marvel at those who update their blogs daily. Sometimes I could, it's very rare though so I steady myself. <br />Just remember that while you may be admiring some, there are many out there admiring YOU.Miss Pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04339773113889860348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-74772152075451458772011-07-07T17:43:06.791+10:002011-07-07T17:43:06.791+10:00I don't have a system.
