Hi Harshil,
I love my Google Documents buddy. I am writing more than a few guest posts now. Whenever someone takes me up on my invite to publish a guest post for them, I fire up Google Documents and add their name and blog post title. Easy peasy way to write posts fast while keeping track of the guesties.
