I love tuesdays, I say this a lot. Tuesday is like my 2nd favorite day of the week, next to Sunday. The randomness and craziness that happens on a Tuesday is insane. Anyways, I always wanted to give Tuesday a cool tag name, something similar to a twitter hashtag, so here are some cool names, that reflect what Tuesdays mean to me. If you have a certain word that matches or ones that you like, drop me a comment. 🙂

So here is the format, it has to go like this #TT #_ _ _ _ – Tuesday. So its a word then Tuesday, let’s begin.

Twisted Tuesday

Turbo Tuesday

Twitter Tuesday

Torture Tuesday

Turbulence Tuesday

Trauma Tuesday

Terrible Tuesday

Tough Tuesday

I bet there is more I can come up with, but let me know yours.

The Cure of Writer’s Block (Tips, Ideas, Inspiration)

When writer’s block strikes it is torture to someone’s goal or motivation. Well here is my cure (guide) to writer’s block.

Here are 5 cures to get back out of your writer’s block stage whether it’s blogging, script writing, video ideas, short stories, poetry, or just personal journal.

1. Create 3 mini series of simplicity (short form) as warm up.

– photos (find a title or cool name to call your series within the field you are trying to write and google search images or photos that’s related to the theme of the series and post it with your thought on the picture or a brief info on the picture) Also you can take things in your own hands and grab your digital camera, camcorder, iPhone, blackberry or so, and create a series of random photos around the house, outside, people, or so and post it with nice keywords/tags of things people maybe searching for.

– text (find a title or cool name to call your series within the field you are trying to write and do something within a 2-4 sentences on the idea or a thought. Or write about someone who is great in that field) and end the each post with a question or an idea you discovered within your research and working on the mini series.

– video (find a title or cool name to call your series within the field you are trying to write and do something 30 sec –  1 min) and have the series go to a certain number you like, for example your favorite number or numbers like 6, 8, 12, or 16.

2. Create a creativity/idea drop box/fish bowl

3. Read others blogs, or videos and take notes on the things you like (reminder, don’t get mad at their content and how great it is to yours, everyone goes through a dry spell, even drop a comment, message or email to the person to see if they can give you some tips.)

4. Create a rant or vent on pieces of paper what you are missing or your problems. Sometimes helpful to read out and see on paper what your actual problem so you can take it in and think about it and create a solution.

5. Take a break, get some sleep. Go to you favorite places, eat some of your favorite food, listen to your favorite music, or look up things that you enjoy or like that inspire you. Talk to a good friend and hold a good conversation with someone interesting. I guarantee that will inspire you on some ideas and get you in a good mood.

Try these ideas and see how well they work for you.

Wow I did it, gosh I did it, 10,000 views on my blog, I can and can’t believe it. After about one year and six months I made it to 10,000 views on my wordpress blog. I believe I could of reach this goal much quicker but having I was posting as well as I was suppose to or knew I could of, but thanks to WordPress‘s challenge as of Jan. 1, 2011 with PostADay2011 and PostAWeek2011 I decided to step up on my writing and make every day a creative day to post something interesting. I am not sure how I will fair on the PostADay2011 challenge seeing that it’s only March so far, but I am excited to see how far I can go.

If I can make 10,000 views I can surely see myself reaching the heights of 25,000 views for 2011 and being featured on WordPress’s “Freshly Pressed” section. Those are both goals of mines for the year. I am working really hard and having fun on my blog daily. It’s quite a new heart throbbing feeling for me. Thanks WordPress, 10,000 now, 25,000 is the goal, but gunning for 50,000 views.

Thanks for sharing in my milestone,
Richardo
