I think I will start doing that. I find the blogging series nice too, but forgot to include that in my post.

I get my ideas from fellow bloggers, geneabloggers - and inspiration during the night when I cannot sleep, but hope I remember the ideas the next morning! <br /><br />Following particular blogging series and challenges, is a major help e.g. Sepia Saturday, 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks, The Book of Me. A-Z Challenge etc. . <br /><br />I make full use of the Drafts folder. and create a "New Post" for any idea or prompt or anniversary reminder that I think I will write about, putting in at least the subject or draft title in the Title Box, and perhaps some quick jottings on content, to develop later. <br /><br />I limit the drafts to no more than a page of the screen, so it is easy to give a quick overview - too many drafts and some get forgotten about.<br /><br />Some weeks I have a blitz with a number of posts ready to go, but I have learnt to be restrained and space them out. Too many on one day I think runs the risk of posts getting overlooked by readers.<br /><br />This is not very structured system, but it works for me! I will be interested to read what other bloggers do and thank you for riasing the issue. <br /><br />Good luck with your own blogging activity! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br />ScotSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01412874349376253984noreply@blogger.com
