I like doing it so early because it takes off the pressure of scrambling to figure out a blog post and then making me miss a post. I usually keep a stock pile of post ideas, especially for my generic writing\/discussion post at the beginning of the month. I often take notes during watching movies for my Writing Lessons posts. So near the end of every month, with those ideas in stock I plan what post I&#8217;m going to do a week in advance according to my super duper organized schedule. I&#8217;m just that anal retentive. XD<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Moving past that prologue, when I sit down to write a post, I pick one out of my schedule (usually the one that needs to get done the soonest) and I beginning think about how I&#8217;m going to go about it and what the theme is going to be (and how I can tie it into some fandom). Then I title it, insert the labels, and schedule the date. When it&#8217;s a free for all post like this one. I first outline main points like my steps, my intro, my conclusion, my little bio doohickey, the questions prompt, and the suggested posts. I&#8217;ll even mark where I want to put gifs and pics and if I have a specific graphic in mind, I&#8217;ll write that down in my marker too.<\/span><\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"205\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/JohnWatson-IBlogAboutIt.gif?resize=320%2C205\" width=\"320\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">When I get new idea &#8230; I blog about it.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Step 1.5 &#8211; Copy and Paste Template &#8211; <\/span>Trade<br \/>\n secret: I keep little rough templates for a lot of the posts you see<br \/>\nhere.

I<br \/>\nhave templates for my Writerly Bundle, Writing Lessons, So Your<br \/>\nCharacter is From Another Country, and Book Review posts.
