What usually goes into a blog post.
Lately I have lost several truly [tag]epic[/tag] [tag]blog[/tag] [tag]entries[/tag] or they have been a lot less than detailed than I would have liked, because they were not committed to paper fast enough. Usually what goes into the creation of a good blog post is; something interesting happens, then I replay the events back in my head several times, it helps if I have pictures because I edit them at this point, then I usually walk back and forth and tell the story out loud to develop a pace. Some of the post on this site you can tell were originally developed to be told in person. If you have ever had the good fortune to hear me tell the “Frozen toy story” it sounds well practiced because it really is. Lastly once I am satisfied that I write a rough draft and edit it once or twice before uploading it, unfortunately even then sometimes I miss errors.
Recently I have been trying to use this same method of writing and either I get frustrated because I can’t recall enough detail from the event to satisfy me, or I end up aggravated because I keep finding huge grammatical errors. I think I am going to have to mix up my writing style some and start committing things to notebook before I type them up and try to develop my pacing from that. I hate doing that due to the amount of work involved but it has worked in the past, and hopefully it will lend to something more akin to previous levels of quality.
I make it a point to keep a notebook with me. I think I am going to start making notes for blog post more and more often now.
