How to Cure a Writer's block




Writer’s block. Anyone who has ever written or wanted to has gone through it. The worst part is when you have a deadline or when you have all these ideas, but nothing comes out. I found some techniques that help me get inspired. Hope they help you too!
Bloqueo de escritor. Todos aquellos que escribieron o quisieron hacerlo, pasaron por esto. Lo peor es cuando tenes una fecha limite o cuando tenes todas estas ideas, pero no sale nada. Encontré un par de técnicas que me ayudan a inspirarme. ¡Espero que les sirve a ustedes!

Re-read.

I’m not sure where I read this but re-reading your old stuff can be so helpful. I go back and read what I’ve written probably 70% time I want to write. To be honest, it usually helps me more whenever I’m writing more creative stuff rather than academic or blogging. But going back and re-reading can help you fall back in love with what you have.
Releer.  No sé dónde leí esto pero releer cosas viejas puede ser de gran ayuda. Probablemente el 70% de las veces que escribo vuelvo a lo que ya escribí y lo leo. La verdad es que me ayuda más que nada cuando tengo que escribir algo más creativo. Pero volver a leer lo que ya escribir me ayuda a recordar y enamorarme de lo que tengo.



                  Search in what's already written


I don’t know if this happens to everyone, but I have a key movie and a key book that I love to go back to get inspiration from. Whenever I read the book and watch the movie I fell in love with the idea of writing all over again. It also helps to read other people’s blog or articles when you are a bit lost as to what to write for your blog or school work. Always be careful not to plagiarize though!
Busca en lo que ya está escrito. No sé si esto les pasa a todos, pero tengo una película y un libro clave que me encanta ver y leer para inspirarme. Cuando leo este libro y veo esta película me enamoro con la idea de escribir todo de vuelta. También me ayuda leer los blogs de otras personas o artículos cuando estoy un poco perdida con que hacer para el blog o trabajo de la facultad. ¡Siempre tengan cuidado del plagio!


Go for a walk

We are sometimes stuck in this horrible writer’s block staring at the paper or screen and pulling our hairs out asking: what now? Step away from the screen or paper. Get up and go for a walk, take some time to breath fresh air. Your brain needs distractions and air after sitting on a desk for too long. So, take the time to walk your dog, or go for a run!
Salí a caminar. A veces estamos atrapados en un bloqueo y miras la pantalla o papel, te agarras el pelo y preguntas: ¿Y ahora qué? Aléjate de la pantalla, o el papel. Levántate y Sali a caminar, tomate un tiempo para respirar aire fresco. Tu cerebro necesita una distracción y aire después de estar sentado en un escritorio por mucho tiempo. Así que, ¡saca a pasear a tu perro o salir a correr!

 Talk to people


Whenever I question where my inspiration comes from I say, people. Hearing what people have to say, their stories or even eavesdropping conversation can be so useful. My blog post comes from things people asked me and my stories and poems from other people’s experiences. People have a lot to say and a lot to tell. Listen.
Habla con la gente. Cuando me pregunto de donde viene la inspiración siempre digo “las personas”. Escuchar lo que dicen las personas, sus historias o hasta escuchar conversaciones ajenas puede ser muy útil. Mis publicaciones del blog vienen de lo que me preguntan las personas y mis historias y poemas de las experiencias de las personas. Las personas tienen mucho que decir y mucho para contar. Escucha.


How do you cure a writer’s block?

Bloggers you need to follow





Every since I started blogging I am always in the lookout for new bloggers. Everyone has their unique style and everyone inspires me to pick new topics to talk about. I find the blogging community one that is really warm, doesn't judge and is open to everything, everyone is happy to help newcomers and their new ideas and styles. Here are a few that I love:
Desde que empecé con el blog estoy siempre buscando bloggers nuevos. Todos tienen un estilo único y todos me inspiran para elegir temas nuevos para hablar. La comunidad de bloggers es una muy cálida, no juzgan y abierta a todo, nadie tiene problema de ayudar a los nuevos y sus nuevos ideas y estilo. Acá hay algunos que me encanta:



I am Charlotte Olivia



What I really love about Charlotte’s is her style. Her style is so unique and has that comfortable vibe that I adore. I love how she dresses so casually yet stylish. Her blog is my dream since its fill with fashion and everyone knows I love fashion.
Lo que me gusta de Charlotte es su estilo. Tiene un estilo único y tiene una onda cómoda que me encanta. Me encanta cómo se viste tan casual pero a la moda. Su blog es mi sueño ya que está lleno de moda y todos saben que amo la moda.








Tea & Curls

What really captivated me about this blog was the name. I mean her blog also has Tea in the name which probably means she loves tea as much as me. What I love about her content are her pictures, they are so pretty and her writing is so unique. Also, Rita’s style is stunning!
Lo que más me llamó la atención de este blog fue el nombre. O sea su blog tiene “tea (té)” en el nombre, lo que probablemente significa que le encanta el té cómo a mí. Lo que me gusta de este contenidos son las fotos, son muy lindas y la manera en la que escribe es brillante. Además del estilo muy lindo que tiene Rita.


Blossom Ikebana



I’ve been following Pau for a while now and I love her blog. She just writes about everything and I love bloggers who allowed themselves to explore more. Also, love how she writes in Spanish and English (like moi) and of course I have to support my fellow Argentinean, hopefully one day we’ll actually meet!
La sigo a Pau hace un rato y me encanta su blog. Escribe de todo y me encanta las bloggers que se anima a explorar más. Además, me encanta que escriba en español y en inglés (¡como yo!) y obviamente tengo que apoyar a mi compañero argentina. ¡Capaz a algún día nos conozcamos!






Love, Megan Anne

What I love Megan Anne’s blog is that she talks about literally everything from Instagram to health. She has also made a Facebook group to help bloggers grow and help build a bigger blogging community.
Lo que me encanta el blog de Megan Anne es que habla de literalmente todo, desde instagram hasta de la salud. Ella también hizo un grupo de Facebook para ayudar a las bloggers a crecer y crear una comunidad de bloggers más grande.

Love Style Mindfulness

Another fashion blog, are you surprise? To be honest I love reading bloggers and finding new fashion blog to get inspiration for outfits and to see what to buy next. Sinead has an amazing style I’m always pinning her outfits on pinterest for inspiration. What I truly love about her though, is the fact that she mixes mindfulness with fashion. I’ve been trying to be more mindfulness myself (it is not as easy as it seems) and her contagious vibes makes me want to pick up on this lifestyle more and more.
Otro blog de moda, ¿están sorprendidos? La verdad es que me encanta leer bloggers y encontrar nuevos blogs de moda para inspirar con mis outfits y ver que puedo comprar. Sinead tiene un estilo increíble, siempre estoy guardando en pinterest sus outfits para inspirarme. Lo que en serio me encanta  es que mezcla tener la atención plena (mindfulness) con la moda. Estoy tratando de estar más presente (no es tan fácil como parece) y su onda contagiosa me dan ganas de seguir ese estilo de vida cada vez más.


What are your favorites blogs? I love to follow new bloggers!
Love

Alive

Hi, hello. I don’t think that you remember me, since I haven't been in here in years. You are more than welcome to look around my posts to remember me.  But I am here now, and I am back. So, I don’t have any good reason why I didn't post, I guess I was lazy? I was tired? Or I was getting my shiz together. I was really getting out there and trying to figure out a couple of things which need to be figure out. Yeah, I’m not making much sense. I made a list to sum up my life this last few months:
Hola, hola. No creo que se acuerden de mi ya que hace años que no estoy acá. Están más que bienvenidos a mirar otros posts para acordarse quién soy. Pero estoy acá, ahora y he vuelto. No tengo una buena razón por la cual no subía post, ¿capaz era vagas? ¿Estaba cansada? O capaz, tenía que componer. Estaba allá afuera y tratando de descifrar algunas cosas que debían ser descifradas. Si, ya se, no tiene mucho sentido. Hice una lista para resumir mi vida estos últimos meses:

  1. I am driving now. Yes, Pili is finally getting out there and goes to school on her own, she buys her own donuts and she gets her cold coffee alone.
1.  Manejo ahora. Si, PIli por fin salió y ahora va a la universidad sola, compra donas sola y va a comprar café frío sola.
  1. I’ve been traveling. I went to Europe twice (I’m working on getting myself to write about this) and I went to Paraguay once (which I only wrote an extremely personal diary entry about).
2. Estuve viajando. Fui a Europa dos veces (Estoy trabajando en escribir sobre esto) y fui a Paraguay una vez (solo escribí una entrada extremadamente personal para mi diario).
  1. I became one of those obsessively healthy people. Nah, I’m kidding. But I started running, going back to spinning classes again and I saw a nutritionist to eat healthier. So, maybe I am a healthier person.
3. Me transforme en esas personas obsesionadas con la salud. Nah, mentira. Pero si empecé a correr, volví a ir a clases de spinning y fui a una nutricionista para comer sano.Entonces, capas si soy una persona sana.
  1. I got a photography Instagram. I love photography so much, it has been a passion of mine for years. So I decided to share with people in my new Instagram.
4. Me hice un Instagram de fotografía. Amo la fotografía, es una pasión mía hace año. Entonces decidí compartirlo con las personas en mi nuevo Instagram.

A little catch up on my life this few months. I promise that I WILL write this year. I have so many ideas and I missed the blogging community so much. I know I say this every year, but since last year was the year to get my life together, I now promise to blog more, I promise to be here more often.
Un pequeño resumen de mi  vida estos meses. Prometo que este año voy a escribir. Tengo tantas ideas y extraño tanto la comunidad de bloggers. Sé que digo esto todos los años, pero como el año pasado fue el año de descifrar mi vida este año prometo subir mas cosas al blog, prometo estar acá más seguido.
Love,
Pili

What made me happy this month







So, last post was kind of a photographic round up and this one I guess we could call it more “sentimental”. Anyways, here are 13 reasons why July was pretty awesome:
1.       I finish my first semester in college. Maybe the hardest few months of my life, but I survived.
2.       I pass all my finals. Even though I only took two, I passed both of them and couldn’t be happier. So nice to think I’m already done with this two subjects.
3.       My family come over this month. It was really nice to have them for a few weeks and spend some time with them.
4.       Paper Town movie. I’ve been waiting for this movie since I read the book and it was so good, highly recommend it.
5.       Back to blogging. Words can’t explain how happy I am to come back and work on my blog. I’ve missed it so much.
6.       Visiting my friends in Asuncion. I missed my friends so much. I’m glad to be back here and seeing all the familiar faces again.
7.       Making my first $. I honestly can’t believe I got paid for the first time in my life. It still feels kind of surreal.
8.       Found new-old photos. So this month my friends send me old photos I didn’t even know we have. Really nice to go back in time.
9.       Figuring out what has been causing me to feel dizzy. So I’ve been feeling kind of dizzy out of the blue for a few years and after a few doctors appointment, I learned it was my cervical, nothing to worry too much about.
10.   New blog lay out and URL. I’ve been wanting to this for some time and I had no idea how, I’m really glad I finally did it. Changing my URL was also something I was scared, but I’m glad I finally did it.
11.   Pixels movie. This movie was so good. I’m glad I checked it out.
12.   Inside out movie. Another amazing movie I saw this month. This one was special because I went with my two siblings, it was a nice bonding time with them.
13.   Bea Miller album. I’m obsessed with Bea new album. I love her sound and her style (as I mention before). Do check out her album on iTunes.
Love
