When I find something to blog about, I also create a subject, a link to whatever article or website I am writing about, and save it.
I currently have over 10 articles pending in WordPress, whereas before I used to keep only two or three.
Sometimes, after coming back to an older article, or even after writing one, I end up deleting it. It might be confusing, or I might find that I just didn't like how I wrote it. I've actually written an entire article in an stream of consciousness way, then rewrote it immediately afterwards to make it easier to follow.
I have a notebook that acts as my Todo/Projects list, and when I am on the road, I can write entries such as:
Blog: What's up with XYZ?
Then, when I sit in front of the computer, I can create an entry. I can either write it out then and there, or I can leave it for later.
It doesn't have to be an incredibly formal process, but if you find that formality actually makes it easier for you, then by all means!
