I schedule my blog posts to appear each day at that time.  I write my blog posts often days or weeks in advance.  Currently, I have about 30 blog posts that are completed or mostly done in the queue, for publication once each day for days and weeks to come.<\/p>\n<p>When do I write blog posts?<\/p>\n<p>I write them at home, usually either in the very early morning before I go to work, or perhaps in the evening after dinner if I have time.  I do not spend time blogging at work.  Blogging is personal, and I don&#8217;t waste work time doing personal stuff.<\/p>\n<p>How do I come up with ideas to blog about?<\/p>\n<p>I have three sources:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What I see when I travel on public transit, on my Harley, or when I walk around the streets of DC where I work or my community where I live.<\/li>\n<li>What I observe people look for when they search the Internet and end up on this blog.<\/li>\n<li>Occasionally, what some people write to me about in an email message.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I avoid writing about things that are better suited elsewhere, such as about politics.  I try to keep this blog focused on my passions for boots, leather, community, and my man.  However, I have on occasion been known to wander off topic.<\/p>\n<p>I never quite know where I will be when something strikes me to blog about.  And being a rather old-fashioned type of guy, when I get such a thought and I am in a place that I can write (that is, not on my Harley), I will whip out a trusty small notepad and jot the idea down.  Then later when I am at my computer, I pull the notepad out of my shirt pocket and compose the post.  It&#8217;s that simple.<\/p>\n<p>I am having a lot of fun with this blog, and appreciate your visits!<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone asked me, &#8220;do you really get up at 4:00 in the morning to write a blog post every day?&#8221; &#8230; no.
