Where’d you get that name?

Somewhere in the blogosphere I read a post about the origin of blog names.
I thought I’d share with you how I came up with Crayon Writer.
It was pretty difficult at first, since so many good domains are taken. But I knew I wanted to talk about writing in the title, and I knew that my being a mother was important too.
Even though it was difficult to come up with, the concept is actually pretty simple.
I’m a writer who’s the mother of a toddler. When I need to write something in a hurry, I can never find a pen that works. So what do I reach for? A crayon. They’re everywhere. If I stick my hand in the couch, I’m sure to find one quickly.
So there you go. I write with crayons because my toddler uses crayons. I’m a crayon writer. And proud of it. The only problem is that my daughter gets upset when I use her crayons. “That’s MY crayon!”
Sigh…. Maybe I should change the name to Imaginary Pen Writer.
How did you come up with your blog’s name?
