Ok, Maybe I Don't Suck
Sometimes I'll have an idea or snippet for a post, and I'll work on it, but if it isn't quite right, I'll save it to draft to work on later. Draft is also very useful for when you can't think of anything to blog about, then you can just scroll through your post listings and find an italicized gem to dust off and slap up on screen.
As you might be able to tell from the first paragraph up there, I had nothing saved in draft.
But for a bit of happy news, my boss signed off on those hideous employee reviews; now all I have to do is actually give them. I thought they turned out so bad, it makes me wonder if she even read them. Most likely she read mine near the end, when she'd given up the fight.
"Comparatively, yours were ok." Thanks Boss. High praise!

Drafting for blogging???
you make me feel ashamed of myself for putting up just any ole crap . . .
You have no idea how persnickety she is about her posts...
And then the 'off the cuff' stuff is the best received - as Paulius noted recently.
(I'm so proud and happy with the Google toolbar - it knows how to spell persnickety!)
Hooray for not sucking!
I have my blog ideas in a variety of places, sometimes as drafts, some in text docs on my PC, and some written on scraps of paper on my desk. I need to organize better. I have about a dozen post ideas that I just haven't felt like flushing out yet. I also forget that blogging "in the moment" can lead to posts that are just as good as ones I slave over for an hour.
I *heart* Google toolbar's spell check. It's indispensable.
I write posts as and when they come to me in MSword. At any one time I have about 4 or 5 unpublished posts. That way if I can't think of anything to write (or just can't be bothered), I throw one of those on.
Plus I'm a habitual re-writer. I'll write something, go through it, go through it again, save it, go through it again...although not quite as much with my blog posts
Now that I think about it, maybe I shouldn't admit to drafting? I mean, if this is as good as it gets, imagine how awful it must be at first!
I really need to learn the pictures stuff, add some visual aides to my blog.
And what is this Google Toolbar? I must investigate...
