I have seven seeds of blog posts saved in my drafts. They cover solid topics, but I feel like I need to set several hours aside to give the topics their rightfully deserved attention.
Bloggers, and other original content producers, how long do you spend on a quality post? How long is it in draft? How many times do you come by and revise before it feels "right"?
My best posts are stories I've told. I tell the story or share the idea verbally a few times, work over the flow, talk to myself, then just write it all down. Once and done. I don't even start to write unless I know how the whole post is going to go. I come back and edit days later.
Here's what Paul Buchheit did in a similar situation:
