It's All in the Name


I've been talking to a few people who've commented on the name of this blog.

They said that it was a strange name, and that it made me sound of kind of sadistic. As though I go around stepping on ants in my spare time (which I don't, honest!).

Actually, the name is from a zen saying. It means to take notice of the small things, to see things in a different light. I know that doesn't really relate to writing and books and the like, but I found it an interesting title at the time.

Not as interesting as sadistic-ant-killing, but not as disturbing either.

In other news, I was interviewed by fellow blogger Romi Foster recently. You can read my fabulous answers and her even more fabulous questions here.

What do you think of this blog's name? A simple thumbs-up or thumbs-down motion at your computer screen should suffice (but seriously, let me know in a comment--you know you want to).

  1. Thanks for the linkiness! ( :
    It's funny, I thought your blog name was Listening to Ants Screem, not the, until recently... It's a very interesting name, I like where it originates from and I was wondering if ants did in fact scream.. (well frogs do!) it's the kind of name that makes you think 'oh, what' that then?' it's not something that you'd see and think 'oh yes, another blog' it's unusual and you shouldn't change it.
    And the title of a blog all depends on what the content of the blog is, and as your blog is super amazing filled, so is the name!

    Romi.
    P.S. Glad you liked the questions, I agree that your answers were pretty spiffy!
    P.P.S. Oohie! Guesses of Guesses what????? I'm just about to type up my Voiceworks entry/s! YAY!
