I’m excited to announce that I’ll be contributing a series of blog posts on writing and editing for the Alt Design Summit blog! Head over there today to learn my 5 tips for becoming a more efficient blogger.

my question is that if you carve out a time on the weekend to write posts… what happens if something happens during the week? If something exciting happens do you write a post over again? Or are you just building an arsenal of post?

Good questions, Lauren–and thanks so much for commenting.
Personally, I only have time to write one or two posts over the weekend for the week ahead. I try to write Monday’s post plus another that I can use later in the week. Since my blog is mostly based on personal experiences, I don’t have an editorial calendar of any sort; I just write about what’s currently going on in my life! However, if nothing interesting or blogworthy has happened, I can fill a day with one of the pre-written posts that are not as time sensitive and are usually style or product related.
Hope that helps! Please feel free to get in touch if you have any other questions 🙂
