I'm moving some of my writing processes into the Cloud. This is my detailed workflow at the moment (Fall 2013).
I've used Google Email for years. I also recently started using the Blog & Wiki apps. It's helpful to me to have it all under the umbrella of a single Google ID.
What I do first is log in via email (via HTTPS).
https://mail.google.com/
What this provides is an initial SSL conduit through which I'll open up subsequent Google processes.
In my email tab/window, I'll compose non-email essays just like I would with regular correspondence: by working out of the Drafts folder. In a new message, I'll leave the To field empty, but I will put a working title into the Subject field. Then I'll just tap away in the Body of the message--all the while depending on Gmail to auto-Save my work as I go along. Maybe I'll start some other Blog/Wiki post in another Compose window. Since there's no address filled in, the message just gets filed away and doesn't get seen by anyone while it's still in progress. Meanwhile, maybe I'll start up another window and write an actual email.
Up top is a menu for other Apps, so I'll select Sites, and (depending of my browser preferences) a separate tab/window will open up. I prefer using tabs, so I'll manually open one up.
https://sites.google.com/
In here is where I'll finalize Wiki/Blog essays and general site administration, of course. While composing a post, there is also an auto-Save process going on. However I'm realizing that works-in-progress are more comfortably processed in the other tab (email), so that posts do NOT go "live" until I feel they're at some level of intelligibility. (by this reasoning, I've got a couple of posts on here that probably should be sequestered right now, hah)
I'll save the Information Assurance aspects of all this for some other time. For now, suffice it to say that I'm placing Availability ahead of Confidentiality, simply by working online. This particular writing process would be especially applicable if I got something like a Chromebook that pretty much lives on the Internet. Working this way is also generally useful if I happen to be someplace other than my own computer, because then all I'd need would be a browser and internet access.
