Tonight I am feeling appreciative for the Internet. I'm often grateful for how it lets me stay in touch with family thousands of kilometres away (I had a long overdue Skype with my brother yesterday), but that doesn't really seem like anything new nowadays. What did surprise me this morning was how easy it was for me to find the names and contact information for my favourite authors' agents and publishers. I now have an even longer list of people to send the story I want to publish to thanks to someone's ingenious website, querytracker.com. I expected it to be much more difficult to track down specific authors' agents. Also, another fun use of the internet, although only new to us, is that tonight we watched a movie downloaded off iTunes onto our computer, then played on our TV.
On a side-note: I'm slowly becoming accustomed to the uncertainty that hangs over my relationship at the moment. I have made contingency plans for myself, which has helped settle my mind. Now I just need to figure how to get a decent night's sleep.
What's in a name?
According to my Apple dictionary, admittedly not a definitive source, a ‘consideration’ is a thought, reflection, meditation, concern, rumination etc. I would like this blog to do those things. I’m hoping I can keep the posts positive because, as someone once reminded me, it is important to practise the habits of mind that you value and want to foster. For me those are: positivity, curiosity, openness and self-reflection (hence, a blog is a good forum).
Also, I’m calling them 'small' because I would like to try to get into the habit of blogging briefly but often. That way I can reflect on everyday occurrences and make this form of writing and thinking a habit, hopefully.
