I often have musings that I'm not sure I should publish for anyone else's eyes. These may be a reaction to an emotionally taut situation or a frustration that I blog about instead of acting on in some other way. Usually I will just jot my immediate thoughts down in a draft post; often I then completely forget about them. I may notice them in my drafts folder in a couple days and edit out a harsh tone, or remove a hurtful thought, or add a bit more detail on where I was coming from. For other posts, I just decide that it's best to completely toss them out.
Sometimes I don't notice them for months. Then I might not have included enough details to remember what the draft post was about in the first place, or I might decide I want to flesh the post out in more detail and add it to my blog, now that the extra distance has made the issue less tender. A post like this may never get read, though, if I leave the date/time stamp with which it was originally created. That's okay; I mostly blog for my own expression.
