I think writing in public might work for you. Don't do drafts, instead, start an article with just a title if you have to and progressively refine it. IMO an article's lifetime is much more than just the initial day or so after publishing it. Sure, that's when it will most likely get the most attention, and if you're optimizing for that, this might not be the best advice, but if not, it sounds like something that might work well for you.
