I am completely mainstream now but FWIW, I usually write it out in .doc first. I use .doc because I have spellchecker turned out. Although typing it out in notepad just feels more convenient and 'spontaneous', I've gotten used to typing it out in MS Word.
My second step is to review it based on parameters set out by copyblogger.com - ie., does it grab eyeballs? Is it entertaining enough? Does it complement the links inside the post? Does it help push my site's brand? Is it consistent with my site's brand?
Then I copy and paste to copyscape to make sure it doesn't have any duplicate content issues. I then run it through a grammar checker.
Copy and paste into .txt. Add link html tags. Add a pic (selected carefully to be eyeball grabbing and different from competitors). Tag it based on my keyword theme list (filtered by search volume and competition level) Paste to CMS.
Might seem like a time-intensive process but I got used to it after doing it enough times.
