I love insights in to stuff like this. I've always been a writer; college magazines, sports reports, gig reviews are all things I always enjoyed doing. It was only a few years ago that I had the epiphany to write about what I do for a career, and I love it and would love to be able to turn it into a revenue stream.
So far for me, it's just personal blogs. And my process is pretty woeful.
I keep a Trello board that I'll chuck ideas onto, but when I'm feeling the writing itch, I very much blurt out my brain onto the page and hit "publish". No idea if my blasé approach reflects itself in the quality of the writing. Maybe I'd benefit from more structure, but whilst I'm largely doing it for fun, I don't mind keeping it loose and care free.
Writing a book is definitely on the bucket list... I'm actually a week away from submitting first draft on a book I've been working on with a couple of other folks, but the subject is pretty dull (it's a Microsoft exam guide) so the structure and format had been preordained. Looking forward to actually writing some original thoughts on a subject I'm more excited about, but appreciate that will DEFINITELY need more planning going in to it.

Every person has their own process, but for me, it’s always insightful to read how others do things.
I’ve been struggling with some part of my writing, and the way you do it seems that will help with my issue. Thanks for sharing.
