If you blog, do you pre-blog?

I usually try to start my blog posts the day before I actually post it. I use LiveWriter. I create a draft, save it, then add to it as I have pictures to post or LOs or more info or whatever.

Just wondering if anyone else does this?
 
Sometimes I update my blog after I write if I see an error or something and sometimes I will write a blog entry and not finish it completely but I dont really do it like that exactly. Im not really regular about writing either. Sometimes I do it everyday sometimes only once or twice a week
 
for my personal blog, no. I have noticed that if I write a draft it never gets published.

For the blog here, if I have my act together, I do try to write my post ahead of time.
 
I have separate email address I use for scrapping (for purchases, ct stuff, etc). I ALWAYS have my gmail open while i'm at work, cuz I'm weird and hate leaving unread messages in my inbox. Anyway, if I log in to blog, it logs me out of my regular gmail, and I hate that. So I normally start writing my post in notepad (if I have a lot to say or I know I'm gonna ramble and take a while) and then when I'm sufficiently done, I copy and paste it into blogger and post.
 
I do sometimes, if there's a lot to post about (lots of layouts, pics of the girls, new products etc.) but normally I just start when I want to post.
 
Only if I need to write but know I can't finish it...I'll go ahead and do what I can and then come back. Normally, I do it all at once. :)
 
I'd love to try doing this to become more regular with posting...I think of a million things to blog about and then by the time I get around to it, I've forgotten them all! :)
 
On my blog I feature layouts that require some work to gather and put together all the info, and some of my other posts where I'm enabling my readers with project ideas and fave products require sometimes days of working on it off and on. So yes I use WLW too for all my blogging. I don't think I could without it, I love not having to be online to write my blog posts and I can work on posts for several blogs in one program.
 
I do pre-blog. I have times when I am feeling very inspired to write about a bunch of things & I create those posts and save them for the times when I am feeling like I have nothing to say for an extended period. Right now I have a bunch of ideas in my head and rather than putting up 4 posts today I'll write up and save 3 of them for later.

I use Live Writer too & it's very handy for saving drafts.

I also prewrite things for events. I'll write about how I feel before it, save the post and then finish it after the event with how it turned out.
 
What? I have to post on my blog? J/K!! I have a personal blog and a scrap blog and both are so neglected, I don't even think that pre-blogging would help. I think about doing it, but then life takes over and I totally forget.
