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.

Trying a new tactic (35/100)

I've submitted a short story to some competitions this morning. Usually I would tinker with a story for several months or longer until I got the mysterious feeling of it being done. Then I would prepare to submit it to various places and make more tweaks before hitting the send/submit button. This time, I wrote the story after a dream, which is typical. After initial feedback from my husband and two rounds of workshopping and subsequent fixes, I decided to send it in. I don't have the feeling that it's done, but I'm not sure what else to do to it. This time it's like the story is finished on an intellectual level rather than a mysterious, emotional level.
