I started a challenge to write 8 hours a day for the whole month of January but didn’t upload much. I uploaded so much less than what I wrote. But there is a reason behind this. I wrote more and published less because I wanted to make a stock of 30 stories to upload multiple times every day.

I have already started making a stock of 30 stories to upload frequently and multiple times a day. But there are also some other advantages of keeping a stock of some stories in your drafts. It’s not compulsory to make a stock of 30 stories. You can do what’s easy for you. If you want 10, do it. If you want 20, do it. It’s your choice how many stories you keep in your drafts. But you should definitely keep some.

So today, I am gonna explain some of the advantages of keeping a stock of some stories. Let’s go.

A backup of some stories

When you make and keep a stock of some stories in your drafts, it helps you give some backup stories for many different circumstances. You would be surprised, but there is only one advantage of making a stock of stories. That’s the backup of the stories that you will have because all the other advantages are sub advantages of this.

When you have the backup, it can help you with writer’s block, while it also helps you upload multiple times a day.

Helps you with writer's block

Keeping a stock of some stories in your drafts will help you with writer’s block very easily. When your mind gets stuck between writing a story. You won’t need to get anxious about your consistency because you will have a stock of so many stories to upload.

You can’t avoid writer’s block with it, but this will help you deal with the stress of breaking your consistency.

It won’t help you avoid writer’s block, but if you want to avoid it. Read my story below.

Easily upload multiple times

When you have a stock of stories in your drafts, you won’t feel the fear of publishing multiple times every day. Because you will be easily uploading multiple times a day.

If you want to upload twice a day but don’t want to write it. No worries, because you can write one and get one from the stock in your drafts. The same thing goes with uploading three times a day. You can write one or two stories and get one or two from the stock.

These are the advantages you get directly by keeping a stock of stories in your drafts. But you also get some indirect benefits from making a sock of stories that helps you so much in your writing career.

You get some indirect advantages like an increase in writing speed, improvements in vocabulary, better sentence structure, etc.

When you try making a stock of some stories, you have to write more. And it’s obvious when you write more, you get more experience. And then that experience helps you get so many improvements in your writing speed, vocabulary, sentence structure, etc.
