As this is the start of Blapril prep week, I thought I’d share an important aspect of my blogging experience. As ever, I would like to state that what works for me may not necessarily work for you. We all approach writing in our own unique way and ultimately it’s all about doing what is appropriate for you. I find that having some processes in place helps me immensely with my writing. And perhaps the most fundamental of these is having a way to manage my thoughts. I’m sure many of us have experienced a situation where a good idea has occurred to us or we’ve thought of a good counterpoint to something we’ve read and thought “I must write that down”. Sadly, we then all too often fail to do so and hence we waste potential blogging “gold”. Which is why I want to talk about the importance of making notes.
