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.

Uninspired = uninspiring?

I feel like my writing over the past week or two has been quite lacklustre. I can see this in the last few blog posts (thank you to people who are still reading) and in the fact that I haven't written anything new in almost two weeks. Luckily I have enough on the go that I can plan and research a new novel as well as revise some short stories. I think the cause is relationship stress, job hunting stress, summer heat.... I feel like I'm lacking creative inspiration. I know from past experience that something will come to me when the time is right. Then, last night when I wasn't sleeping, I started reviewing what the purpose of this blog was. Was my intention to write incredible, insightful posts for readers? Or, was my purpose to reflect and process my own thoughts (without wasting paper)? I think I want both - 40:60. So, please bare with me while I'm feeling creatively flat; contribute positive thoughts, questions and ideas if you want to in the comment section; and follow your passion (for lack of anything less cliched and more inspired to end with).
