The Bloggers With The Most To Say
How many posts are sitting your drafts folder?
I was just on Blogger finishing up a post that I started a while back and was surprised to see that I have *51* half-written posts sitting around in my drafts folder! How did it get to be so many??
Do you finish every post you start, or do you have a ton of posts that are started but not posted sitting around, too?

If I start a post I either finish it or delete it. Just like on my phone, I hate when drafts are hanging out cluttering up my space. I have a bunch of finished posts scheduled to be published. I'm moving next week and will be without internet for a few days so I have been trying to schedule posts in advance but it's hard because I always want to publish them immediately.

I write my posts in google docs, but I often have half-written posts.
Currently though, I only have one! Yeehaw, good news there. Plus, it's a ranty post...so I've been working on refining it so it's less face-bitey and more 'oh if the world were more accepting-y'

About four, and about another twelve or so half-thought Outlines in my notebook to revisit once I "Feel" like writing them.
I toss most of the posts that I start, usually after I realize that I'm not writing them well.

I was going to post this a few weeks ago and then forgot! lol
Last week I had about 130ish drafts. Then I decided to clean it up and now I have about 40!
A lot of them are posts I will be posting later, sometimes I use my drafts to bookmark things unrelated to my blog that I want to remember later lol and I have 1 post that is very very very long that is titled "Beautiful Things to Share" that has a lot of links I want to blog about some day!
I schedule most of my posts ahead and so I usually create drafts and work on it for a few days and then schedule it for the next week or something.

None!
When I get the fever, I have to get to work and start my stories/drawings. You think it's easy just churning out pictures of your cat flying through the air to the sounds of Olympic music? Think again.
I do, however, carry around several ideas for my next post in my head for a week or so. One will inevitably bubble to the surface, or something insane will happen that requires immediate blogging.
For next week I'm considering:
"I shovel-murdered a rattlesnake"
And
"Why I probably should just stop with the sex."
They're both epic gems of poignancy and inspiration, but only one will make next week's cut.
Thoughts?

only have 6, and that's a lot for me. But I plans to post 5 of them within the next two weeks. The other one... we'll see.

NONE. It pretty much drives my fauxCD crazy to have drafts in there. I think they most we've had (between Rox and I) was three and I just had to transfer them into a word doc, because I couldn't stand seeing them. I'm weird, I know.
I'd say that 95% of the time, I start and finish posts all in one day.
