I'm just getting started, but here's my process so far. I've found that an idea for a post will just strike suddenly, usually at inopportune times for writing. So I try to capture as much as I can in that moment using voice-to-text on my phone using google keep or google docs. I also have keep a list of ideas and topics in google docs that I can capture if I'm on my work computer or on my phone.
Once I have my ideas a bit organized and some time to write I'll look through the list and pick one that still speaks to me. I'll start with an outline of the main points that I want to hit and from there it just feels natural to fill it out.
I think the most important thing to do when blogging is to actually decide to write, and not futz around with all the other technical things involved. Do what you need to do to get your blog up and running and compartmentalize the writing from that other stuff (hosting, plugins, analytics, etc.). You can spend weeks just messing with that stuff and not have a single article posted.
P.S. I'm using a Jekyll template hosted on Github pages to power my blog. it was the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to get up and running IMHO. I'm never going back to wordpress.
