down with fear

it started suddenly; as the sun set and darkness began to come down from sky, i started feeling lonely, depressed, scared and helpless. there was nobody around, it was painful and so scary. it seemed as if i am losing somebody whom i love, something that i want, as if i am leaving a city with lots of work undone...

then went for a walk with a friend, took a puff and few more, and then the sudden rain....feeling much better now :)

my friend told me that such depressions are the best time to do something creative...such as painting, writing, or anything else...and i started writing again....this time i am writing for myself and only for myself :)

... and when _anamus was told about the typo, she wrote "That's a mojor typo."
(Since the typo is not making a funny sense, not including it in the Rong-Wright series.)


By the time I post more Rongs and Wrights, why don't you share your Oops moments?

Writers' Block

When it started I thought I have lost my ability of writing and that I am no more creative. Or I was never creative in my life; I just pretended to be creative.

It is painful. I was unable to write a single sentence properly. I do not know when it started, but suddenly I realized that I cannot write.

I thought it is happening to me only because I am a bad writer. I was about to enter into a prolonged depression.

Then I started searching for "how to write" – thank God that I did! I found this phrase: Writers’ Block.

Wikipedia says:

Writer's block is a phenomenon involving temporary loss of ability to begin or continue writing, usually due to lack of inspiration or creativity.

And there is a big article in about.com on how to overcome this.

The points mentioned there are really useful. I changed my chair, stopped writing on few projects for sometime, started writing on topics that I like, gave a pause, discontinued all connections with internet and read some good books and stories which include Happy Prince!

And now, I am feeling much better...got back the urge to write. I am trying to change my writing style as well. Soon I will start writing more for Indian audience.

My plan of buying a mobile handset is still true; got tempted to know iphone is coming to India. However, I think an advanced handset will be ok for me for the time being.

Content is changing its color

In earlier days, the webmasters used to think that referrals or back links as they call it are most important to do well in web business. But things are changing rapidly. Now content is the main influencing factor to run a website. Here is my submission:

con-tent1
–noun
1. Usually, contents.
a. something that is contained: the contents of a box.
b. the subjects or topics covered in a book or document.
c. the chapters or other formal divisions of a book or document: a table of contents.
2. something that is to be expressed through some medium, as speech, writing, or any of various arts: a poetic form adequate to a poetic content.

con-tent2
-adjective
1. satisfied with what one is or has; not wanting more or anything else.
2. British. agreeing; assenting.

con-tent3
-verb
1. satisfy in a limited way.

taken from dictionary.reference.com and Word Web.

In web, CONTENT refers to the material available on the websites in form of information – be it text or graphics or audio visual stuff. So people come to your site to read, to listen to, to watch and to participate. Now, if the content is not satisfactory (that is the reason I posted other meanings of “Content”, notice how the word "satisfaction" is related with content), visitors are going to leave and no back link, no reference can hold them back.

Now, if your site has good and unique content, it will generate thousands of references automatically. That is the latest crush in online marketing field, people call it Link Baiting.

“Create infectious content and relax”, mantra of modern web development! Stay tuned.
