Can I complete a blog post from scratch on my phone without making a noise in 10 minutes!

The writing that is least important to me, and judging by my stats to everyone else as well, is my blogging. As a consequence, I produce very few blog posts, and what I do produce often stays in draft form for quite a long time. Often indefinitely.
