Bloggers What Do You Do With Your Old Drafts?
Managing Drafts?
Sometimes I get an idea and start bashing the keys faster than an epileptic tap-dancer having a fit and churn out post after post. Other times it’s a slow laborious process that could best be compared to pulling teeth as I try to pry that scared little idea from the warm dark recesses of my brain and expose it to the bright light of the screen.
I’m sure as bloggers, you’ve all experienced the same issues, sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s hard, but you always end up with a post of some sorts.
But what do you do with the posts that you never got to hit publish on? The ones that for some reason or another have remained a draft?
I just deleted a number of draft posts form this blog. I didn’t really feel that they could be taken down from the shelf, polished off and proudly displayed in the store front that is my blog.
Either their time and relevance had passed or they were simply crap, but no amount of viagra or shocks from a defibrillator would get the blood pumping in those posts again. They were dead.
It’s very rare that I manage to breath life into posts that I have started and left languish for more than a few days? Am I alone in this?
What do you do with your drafts?
Do you leave them sitting on the shelf gathering dust in the hope that someday they will become relevant again or at least able to be repurposed? Do you keep them in hopes of future inspiration and have a mountain of them sitting in your blog platforms draft folder? Or do you do like I just did and delete the buggers before they start to look like blog rot, growing moldy and smelling like really stinky feet?
