You’re probably going to think this is crazy, but years ago I started a blog called “I write to keep my head from exploding.” I was so happy to see that no one else had a WordPress blog by that name! I even bought the domain from GoDaddy, so it would be mine forever.
The next day, I came to my senses and deleted that stupid WP blog. I also got a refund for the domain.
Here’s the link. It leads to a page saying that the blog is no longer available because the authors have deleted this site:
https://iwritetokeepmyheadfromexploding.wordpress.com
It’s true, though. If I don’t write on a regular basis — Watch Out!

I loved that first quote! It’s a writer’s take on the old saying, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” I like this version better.

These are truths to remember! For so long I thought the only authentic writing was fiction, which I had no interest in. Then, as recently as three years ago, I believed writing was all about putting to words what you knew so others could know what you knew. As soon as I realized that worked for school assignments and tech books, I realized that the writing I was meant to do was a means for examining thoughts and facts in a way to make something personally valid, practical and relevant. And THAT was what made it worth writing, for me at least. And I quickly learned that I was the first reader who was influenced by my writing – so much so that what the next reader saw was very different from how I began! I also realized I AM a writer whether I post often or not, or if many people ever read what I write. I figured that out when even my emails were longer and carefully structured! 😂
