Folks who write serious blog posts, what's your writing process? What do you like the most, hate the most?
@ru I love organizing all the research I do into sections, but I hate introductions and conclusions. So I start with a placeholder intro, work out the rest of the piece, and then come back to intro and conclusion. Which probably isn’t the right order to write... but my process is haphazardness

@ru
This is something I'm starting to do. But my ever-evolving process is:
1. I get an idea and let it swirl around in my brain.
2. Record it in some fashion, most likely in the notebook I carry around.
2a. When I get to a computer, I create a GitHub issue in the repo that stores my posts.
3. I make a branch from the issue and create a draft.
4. I make a number of passes at it.
5. Once I'm satisfied, I'll create a Pull Request, and my partner will read and edit.
6. After edits, post.
I use GitHub to hold my drafts, because then I can copy/paste it to Hashnode (where my blog resides), and Dev.to - to get more exposure.
GitHub also has a Project feature that I use to keep track of the ideas and what I'm currently writing.
@ru Writing process. Can you please explain what you mean? 🙂
