The problem with performancing

On the whole, I like performancing. I like the idea behind it and I like the rich text setup for writing. It reminds me of the days when I used an lj-client to keep my livejournal updated (I’ve sinced moved back to the web interface).

The problem with performancing is that it’s not integrated in any way with my drafts in Wordpress. I tend to get five or six ideas at once, and so I generally keep about 20 or so post ideas in my drafts queue at any given time. When I’m suffering from a lack of inspiration, I have a host of pre-thought up topic sentences I can elaborate on.

Sometimes, they don’t turn out that well, so I have two or three posts that are completely written that I’ve never posted because I’m just not happy with them yet. Regardless, I can’t access any of these stored posts from performancing.

It looks like the “notes” feature is built in to serve the drafts purpose, but I wish I could just log my existing drafts into the folder instead of having to keep separate lists.
