What my writing workflow looks like

"Making it" on any platform takes consistency. In order to be consistent in the long haul you need to have a solid workflow. Here's what my workflow looks like:

• The first thing I do is come up with an idea. At this stage is doesn't need to be particularly good (you can work on the idea later) or fleshed out.
• Next, I copy my template and create an initial draft. I use a tool called Draft which offers excellent version control.
• After that I collect/create any assets I might need.
• Review & improve my draft.
• Move the Draft to Steemit & review everything again, making any needed changes.
• Finally, I create any social media posts that go along with the post once published.
• Archive the project.
• Once posted, I check the task off.

Process

Idea (often recorded as audio or in a notebook) -> input idea into project manager (I use Asana) -> create initial draft -> collect/create and assets that you will need along with the post -> review and improve draft -> transfer content to Steemit editor, improve formatting etc -> create complementary social media posts -> archive project & check off task

The reason I use Asana is its ability to filter posts & view the tasks I have created. Creating and modifying templates is also a snap.

Applications used

• Asana (todo list) - alternative: Todoist would be my next choice
