I guess a quarter of posts that I write get junked, usually either because I decide the post adds nothing; or because I’m failing to express myself - I’m writing it, but it’s not saying what I’m trying to say. And sometimes because, during the drafting, I realize that I’m being a prick and should really stop.
If it’s going to be a difficult post to write, I’ll usually do the drafting in Word, and then cut-and-paste. Example: there’s a thread in Factual Questions, Insurance For Expensive Drugs. As ex-industry, Non-US I briefly considered posting something comparing drug pricing policy in the US vs Europe. One I never started because it would have been a tangent - but that would have been tough to write - I would have drafted it in Word.
