Is It Really Inventory? · 28 June 2025
Have you ever had a bunch of blog posts ready, but you cannot post them yet for one reason or another? Yeah. Me neither.
Okay. I have. I am in that situation right now. I have a couple blog posts ready to put out there, but due to other constraints, I cannot post them yet. One is about a book that I have written but that I am waiting for material for the back cover. One has references to my other website, which is currently broken. Which could actually be a blog post in and of itself. (Hmm. Note to self. Maybe write a blog post about broken websites. If I have not already done so.)
At any rate, I have an inventory of blog posts, but due to other circumstances, I cannot post them yet. Argh.
(Speaking of Argh. It is a great word. I do not even think it needs to be capitalized for the spell checker to say it is okay. Maybe I should try it. argh. Yep. It must be a real word. The only thing my word processor tried to do was capitalize it. Which is a good thing.)
Now where was I? Oh yes. Argh. No wait. Inventory.
It is strange to think of having an inventory of blog posts. But I do. I am sure that other bloggers do too. Think about it. If you are writing and posting a blog post once a week, you probably need to write more than once a week. Depending on your topic. And if you are like me and have no real subject to bind all your posts together, you can just write whatever and post whenever. Unless you are going to post about a holiday or special event. Then, you probably ought to plan way ahead and write the piece well before you post it. Which is, of course, what I do.
Right.
I suppose that I should stop lying in this blog post. I have done it a couple times. The introductory paragraph and two paragraphs above this one have lies. And I do not like to lie. So maybe they are just hyperbole or exaggerations or irony. (Another set of lies? Hmm.)
At any rate.
I like the notion of having an inventory of blog posts. I have had that situation a time or two. And I have such a situation now, except this time I am not ahead of the game, I am behind the eight ball. At least with one post. I need to fix my website (argh) and then I can post that particular blog. And the other one has a specific date. The day before or after I release my book.
So I guess the question is really whether I have an inventory or not. I suppose that since I cannot just post those blog posts any time, they are not really inventory. I cannot just pull them off the shelf and throw them out there. Which is okay. I can get blog posts done one each week and continue to meet my self-imposed deadline.
I suppose that I did not accomplish anything with this post. Not that I ever do. But perhaps the writers out there would agree. If my finished blog posts are constrained by other factors, they are not really inventory. (I suppose I knew that even as I wrote the title. Hmm.)
