It's not that I have a severe lack of post ideas (I'm still pretty new, I think... about 4 months old), but I feel stress when it comes to sitting down to write my posts. I have a regular M, W, F schedule that I keep to because if I just wrote when I "felt" like it or had time, I think I never would write! I do enjoy writing, but I need a system. On the weekends I like to plan the topics I will write about and create an outline for each post. It takes all the stress and worry about what to write about away and I can type out my ideas during the week. My next challenge is actually getting ahead of myself and building up a reserve of posts (about 2 weeks worth), just in case that slump does hit! Thanks for the great advice, Randa!

I have never thought about setting up a type of plan, or time-table. Very good ideas. I do make notes on ideas for blogging and keep all half written ideas in a document for later publishing though! Hehe. If people are finding topics hard to come by, especially on a personal blog, I find that a bit of reminiscing with friends and family always brings some funny topics up, like silly stories about when you were young! These are always fun to share! Wow, such a great post. I have never thought about setting up a type of plan, or time-table. Very good ideas.
