Some thoughts off the top of my head:

It might be just as easy to create a small command line program that knows how 
to talk to the blog API, and since there are open source clients that already 
do that, there is even sample code to look at.  Maybe one of those clients can 
even be run from the command line, I don't know.

I can certainly see the need for what you are doing.  In an ideal world, 
everybody would use their favorite text editor / word processor to write 
everything, and it would interface to everything else each user needed to send 
that text to.

Good luck and let us know what you come up with.
