Discussion on: Do you keep a backlog of 'ready-to-publish' articles?

This is more or less what I am doing as well! When I started my blog I set out to do a post every two weeks, but I found myself forcing it pretty darn fast. So I started 2021 with keeping a backlog of ideas. They're either just titles or outlines like you described.

If I'm feeling inspired, I'll take some time to write something and let it rest so I can come back to it and re-write it in a nicer way if I can. I think I'll be ready to start posting the first one sometime in the next two weeks, so I'm pretty excited about that.

Yeah, that is cool, 2021 looks like a good year to start writing and produce some meaningful content :) Actually, the whole topic of "backlog of ideas" and "where to keep drafts" sounds like a good topic for a blog post. I think I will do something like that and then make a survey at the end to ask how others are doing it, or simply ask here on dev.to :D

It would be interesting to hear the other's approaches.

I had actually put the topic in my backlog already! Would love to read your thoughts on it once you've written a post about it! I'm always curious about insights / approaches from other people regarding the same topic.

Very good :) In that case, I will let you know when I have it done, give you a link here.

Afterwards you are welcome to add any content (or do a guest post if you want) with link to relevant content from you site as well. I have added you on Twitter and follow you here just to keep in touch.
