Can not online, not mean can not write.
For a blogger, writing of useful article is very important. Because it will be access to get top rank in search engine results page (SERP). Logically, a site on the top rank or at least on the first page has chance bigger to get visitor. It means pageview. It means the site is assumed more useful than other in the same field. It’s a prestige…. Moreover, if the site is monetized. Visitor can mean money.
That’s why a blogger always updates consistently. What happen if a blogger has good idea in his head forced offline? Because of job or for a reason must go to countryside that no internet, maybe? (A part of blogger is part time blogger)… The idea in his head may be disappear if not put in soon. It can affect negative if a blogger lost his idea for a long time. It can decrease spirit of blogging. Furthermore, it can influence site’s position in search engine. And it bad for someone that starting to write. And bad for someone monetizing his blog too. So it must be avoided!
To avoid bad effect of compulsion to offline, we must remember first that blogging is writing and a blogger is a writer. So the most important is how to keep spirit of writing. How to keep the idea. Can not online, is not mean no writing.
We can put in our idea in diary, book, or the papers first, as soon as we get good idea. May be in simple form, like draft. Don’t wait online! Then if we get time, we spread the idea in an article, and save in the hard disk. Publish it soon after there is chance to online.
Perhaps you will ask, how if offline compulsion is too long so articles saved in hard disk is not up to date when we have chance to publish?… Well, that’s a risk. Sometimes we cannot get all we want. The most important is the spirit of writing is not lost. Don’t think it will still up to date or not, just write. Let the idea flows like water. Like a knife, more sharpen more sharp. A knife is useless if dull.
Mean, by writing the idea is same with we sharp our mind. Sharp capability to write. If you never put in your idea just because of offline compulsion, maybe it will be harder to start to write when you get online. Maybe ideas become lost or vague.
So, keep always your idea. Happy writing.

As a writer, we have to be prolific. We must continuously burnish ideas.
I appreciate your point of view.
