How to set a draft WordPress post to Pending in three easy steps

So, you’ve written a blog post and want feedback from the rest of the team? Great to hear. I guess you will now want to set it to Pending. Here’s how.

Look right. You should see something like this:

This screenshot was taken from my editing screen as I wrote this.

If the Block tab is highlighted, click the Post tab.

If the sidebar is missing or showing something else, click the sidebar button. Show here in a black square.

Look for the Status thing. Yours, like mine, probably says “Draft”. Give it a click.

You now have a bunch of options. The second one down is the Pending setting.

You are almost done.

Click anywhere to close that floating menu. Your blue Publish button at the top right should now have become a blue Save button. Click it.

When it then says Publish again, your post is now saved as pending.

This post you have been reading is, as I write this, now a pending post. I’m going to go ahead and hit publish so other people can read it.

I hope this was helpful.

#Insomnia gives you the opportunity to some incredibly crazy things sometimes.

For example, over the past several days I have been experimenting with
#ChatGPT. More because I was bored nothing more. And I wanted to see how good some of these newer models were with #writing. #Fiction.

Now, I
#write. Fiction. #ScienceFiction mainly. Although I've dabbled into other more mainstream fiction #genres too except fantasy & horror. Other than #Grammarly and #ProWritingAid I've never really used #AI for anything other than to help me sound less snarky when replying to Reddit comments. A look through my history here and you can see just how unfiltered I am about topics I care passionately and deeply about.

But I've never used AI to actually *
#write* a #story, from start to finish. At least not until now.

And since I'm usually a *
#pantser* when I write, I just started with a simple #prompt and a simple #premise.

And holy fuck. Holy-holy fuck.

I mean, the AI didn't write it all by itself. I had to
prompt it, guide it. Even fix some glaring and stupid mistakes (AI really has no cognitive understanding of the real world right now.)

And of the 40,000+ words it's written just about every single paragraph needs to be
#edited. Heavily in places too. The overuse of #em-dashes is real y'all. I use em-dashes, but I don't use them in every fucking paragraph!

But the foundation is there.

The premise is unique. The story is unique. The characters are unique. And they have a depth to them that frankly has blown my mind.

I am both incredibly excited and very scared for what comes next but only a fool would take something AI has created and
#publish it without #editing whether it's a Reddit comment, an Email, a social network post, or a tome.

After Wattpad deleted my #Story and my #Account without explanation, I've decided to #Publish my #Book as a #Blog. 'Emerging: An Artistic Practice Saved My Life,' is an #Autobiography of my experiences of mental ill health, trauma, abuse, and the artistic practice that allowed me to begin to #Recover. I'm 31,000 words into writing it, and it will eventually be published as a book. Until then, I wish to garner responses to my writing. You can read the blog here:
