This is great advice. Some days you’re just on a roll and will have so many ideas you can barely keep up. Other days you’ll struggle to get one article written, or life intervenes. Even having a list of ideas with one or two sentences written on each one can be great as a place to go when the juices aren’t flowing – or if they are, having an idea list is a great way to quickly knock out 3 or 4 articles in one sitting so you’ve got them saved for a rainy day.

This is such good advice! I try to have at least three or four days of posts in reserve – sometimes as many posts as 12! As a stay-at-home mom, I never know when I may have sick kids or be sick myself (like I was this weekend). It’s also good for making sure you get blogging breaks. You can take a night or two off without feeling guilty!

When I first realized that bloggers did this, I was shocked. I think it was Trent from The Simple Dollar that offhandedly told me he had posts written out and ready to go weeks ahead of time. I was like “What!??”

I still haven’t been able to master that…

I have a few article ideas and also some photos in my stockpile. When I’m getting low, I’ll finish an article and schedule it to be posted at a later date. Then, like you mentioned, if I come up with something better I’ll push it back again.

My blog is VERY new, but I’m working to stockpile. I’m usually 1-2 articles ahead, but am trying to increase that. I’ve been a fan of frugal dad for some time now. I enjoying this new site now, too.

I try to do that right before I go away on vacation, but write a post each day and publish it. I like your suggestion to have several stockpiled if you are ill or just don’t have time to write.

I’ve found a lot of this to be true. My blog is 3 months old now. Before I began I had about 25 posts written to get me started. I no longer have that many piled up, but I do have a few. Some weeks are easier than others.

One thing that has really helped me – whenever I have a good idea, but don’t have time to write I create a new draft post with the title and a couple thoughts. That way when I come back to write later I’ve got a few things started.

P.S. I’d be thrilled to guest post for Frugal Dad if ever you have need of it
