Here’s what I want to engage with you on for this week’s open discussion post: How do you come up with ideas for blog posts?
I’ll reveal my strategies for this later on in the comments. I want to hear from you guys first.
- Are you reactive to current events, or do you follow a preset plan or editorial calendar?
- Do you keep an idea notebook, and if so, in what format (WoodPulp 1.0, desktop software, webware, vocal, etc.)?
- How do you know an idea you have is worth pursuing? What makes you decide to reject a post idea?
I can’t wait to hear from you in the comments!




I keep a notebook of ideas. I add everything that comes to my mind. When it's time to write, I open the notebook and pick a topic.
Terrific time-tested way to do it!

Thank you fou shareing!

I wish I really knew. I just think about the blog I am writing for and what people might find interesting.
The subjects usually come from somewhere in the old gray matter.
