This is the 3rdtime I'm starting a blog. Let's hope 3 time's the charm.
I have never kept a diary. My first blog was a diary of sorts, detailing my 'grand tour' through Canada. The second one might have been called 'a writer's humble beginnings', including announcements for readings, newspaper articles, short stories and teasers. Not sure what this one deserves for a title. Maybe 'If I don't write to empty my head, I go crazy' (Lord Byron).
The aim is to empty my head at least once a week. Seems like good psychological hygiene. Also, forming (positive) habits and sticking to a routine creates stability. Mental exercise is just as important as physical exercise and I tend to be lazy. I stopped writing letters a long time ago and my emails are mostly business and to the point, but the craziness needs an outlet.
