I think it's fairy obvious that I suffer from a condition known as Speakbeforeuthinkitis. I never quite caught onto the idea of applying a filter between my every thought and my mouth. So, if it's in the head, it's as good as said.
Ever wondered why I schedule my posts? Well, now you know. Scheduling allows me a little buffer between writing and actually publishing. It's a buffer that I have indeed relied on from time to time.
I thought I'd share a list of topics that I've written about, but have decided not to publish. Some are too controversial, some I was writing ahead of really knowing what I wanted to say, others are merely boring even beyond my usual dullness.
I think the subjects alone make you realise how important that filter is and what a dehabilitating condition Speakbeforeuthinkitis can be.

There you have it. A trip through the less-than-delightful unpublished drafts folder of Maxabella loves... All posts I spent a little time on that will most likely never see the light of day. Hmmmm... most likely.
Do you have 'unpublished' posts?
What sort of topics did you shy away from?
* A perfectly fine topic if you are writing about yourself, of course.
** Darn, just realised I published this one on Monday. Sorry about that - the filter is obviously a little rosy from time to time...
