I do have a few in reserve, but they're all the oddballs that feel a little weird and risky. Maybe I should just throw 'em on out there. I did just confess on my own blog that despite my peace, granola, and oneness of the universe protestations, I drive too fast and curse a blue streak at slow people in front of me.

My stockpile has dwindled. @Bob - Looks like you need her to edit your comments, too! ;) @Sonia – Yes the “thinking up content to produce” part of it is probably the most useful.

I read blog after blog telling businesses that posting takes a big commitment. blah! I'm looking for a George Costanza clip Pitching the show about nothing: George: What did you do when you got up today? NBC Guy: Uhhh...I ate breakfast... George: BAM! That's your episode :-) Organizations engage with clients & prospects every day. They go to meetings and discuss products. All great blog "episodes" for business blogging.

Now that I read this seems like others agree and I am not alone ... I have found using a list of topics helpful, but with not necessarily a date attached to when they get posted. Now if I could only find the time to actually sit and write them ....

How about this one: I rely on my wife do catch most of my blogging errors. When she doesn't read my posts before I publish them, I almost always wind up editing them after the fact. I do better with other types of writing, because I know she's not going to be reading them. I have to be more diligent. I know I bang the dedicated self-editing gong, and I believe it, too. Even if I don't always practice it. Hmmm… confessions?

In a big way. It's the solution to all blogging woes. Um, and for the past week, we've run our bank empty and are posting the night before to cover the next day. Today, I have no posts for tomorrow or any day after that. Scrambling? Oh yes. It's not for lack of ideas or something to say. It's simply that we had so much work that we used it all up and had none left to write posts. Speaking of which, excuse me. I need to get something ready to cover tomorrow.

I have one at the day job. It is very useful. We don't hold to it rigidly, and there is always room for surprise, but it's beneficial to do the "thinking up what content to produce" step separately from the "producing content" step. I approach my blog differently than I do my day job, for which I know Naomi D. wants to kick my ass daily. Then again, I get very different rewards from my blog. I do have a little more of a calendar that I follow for Copyblogger. This is all apparently pointing to my being pitifully other-directed, which is, well, undeniable.
