How I Set-Up my Posts to Keep Up w/My Daily Release Schedule!

A recording from Erica Drayton's live video

I recorded this a while ago. And in typical Erica fashion, I forgot all about it and it got buried beneath dozens of other Draft posts. Which is, basically what this VOD was all about.

I give you a peak behind the curtain at how exactly I manage to write my 100 word stories every single day. This process works for me because it allows me to just focus on writing the story and not all the extra bits that you see before and after my story.

Having these all ready in my Drafts also means I can write from my phone anywhere. Which is another amazing thing. I wish I could write a post with all the bells and whistles directly from the app. And while I know that is possible, it doesn’t allow me to assign it to a specific Section and I can’t access my Drafts, which would be, at the very least, major updates I would need to the mobile app in order to get me to use it.

As it stands now, I create the Drafts on a computer and then I use a combination of Scrivener and Arc (my web browser of choice) to then post my 100 word stories every single day.

If you’re struggling with how to keep up any sort of pace with writing and especially posting regularly on your own blog, some or all of my process might be helpful to you.

But remember, this is my process that I’ve tweaked and tweaked over many years, even decades, so it works best for me. That means it might not work for you. And that’s okay too. The reason I shared this is really for the curious among you. Enjoy!

Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.
