Do You Scribble Your Name Over and Over?

By: Vivian (View Profile)

I’ve done this for as long as I can remember. I’ll write my first name fifty times, then add my last name to the next fifty. I’ll round it out with my full name over and over again and if I’m feeling froggy, I’ll even scribble my name in a married tense to a man I’m just ga-ga over. So, what gives?

Is this just me being creative? Am I obsessive-compulsive? Or maybe I’m just practicing my autograph skills for when I become rich and famous. Yeah, that has to be it.

I’ve sketched on and off over the years (mostly off). I doodle when I’m bored. I start journaling in my blue notebook, just to write my next entry in my red notebook three months later. I’m terribly organized in most aspects of my life. This is not the case here. I know—I’m rambling. But that’s okay because I don’t get charged by the letter to do that! Ha!

I scribble my name all the time too! You should see my notebooks at work. It's fun at meetings because everyone around me thinks I'm diligently taking notes and absorbing company goals.. but really, I'm just perfecting how to write the perfect cursive "A". I'm almost there...
It feels good to write.

Your stories, musings, and advice are welcome here. We know you've got something to share, so jump in—maybe get a little famous. And don't worry—you can save a draft!
