Time to write...

[Shawn Gossman]

How do you find time to write your blog content.

I usually write on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I can usually get around 1 to 3 articles written a day if I am in the mood to concentrate and focus on writing. I try to write enough where if I'm not in the mood to write the next week, I'll have enough content to schedule.

I'm busy so I'm not always able to write or in the mood, too.

How about you all - when do you find time to write for your blog?

All depends on the mood. I could go a week where I start to write 3 pieces, then finish it some other time. Or another week where I just do the finishes. Or another week where I do nothing at all.

It all depends on what I'm doing that particular day, if I'm busy or not.

But, when I buckle down, I'll push a down a ton of content out. I don't schedule content. I don't like doing that, I'll rather push my writings out as I get them done.

As long as I'm locked in, nobody can stop me, except for me.

That's usually how I am unless something drastic happens.

Im born and bread in the uk but I dropped out of school really early on in life so my English writing skills like grammar mainly is very bad.

But I try my best what life has given me and keep improving every time I write a piece.

When I was into travel blogging, it was impossible to get an article out in a day or a week, in the traditional sense of writing. I mean, I could pump things out and they could sound good, but would they keep people on the page the entire duration? Probably not, and probably not even close.

I would spend a day up to a week planning out places to go to with 2 block breaks in between each place.

The two empty blocks served a purpose.

One block was to start an article or finish a previous one not ready to hit the press yet.

The other block was time to revisit places where my notes were lacking, or, I found new information on the place that could captivate more people if added. So, I would revisit them and expand on the article or notes to write for it.

Visit place, take as many in depth notes that could be structured for a good article, and capture as many photos as possible for filler.	Work on article	Post article or revisit place for more information.	Repeat	-	-	-

Starting out, I could get two articles per week done without pressure. However, places tend to stack in tourist zones, and the calendar becomes quite packed where I could visit two places in 1 area to finish 2 articles the next day, and shelve one for a later post (posting after I know it's accurate and doesn't need another visit).

After a while, there were so many articles stacked in a week that I could push out 4-5 articles a week or bank some for a slower week if I wanted to take some time off. Eventually, I dropped Saturday and Sunday for family time because I had so much content to post for the next 2 months, was in the zone to get articles out quicker, and had an audience that expected a release cycle of sorts where traffic would pump on certain days (Mo, We, Th [for tourist planning on Fr]) into the 1000s after each post (with, of course, reoccurring traffic as articles ranked for those places).
