Nile Flores will speak on “Avoiding Bloggers Block” Saturday morning at 10 a.m. in the Daytona Room at WordCamp Los Angeles. Nile is not new to brainstorming or creativity. This is clearly evidenced by her need to transform her first car, a 1990 red 4-door Chevy Geo Metro, into something a little more artsy while she was a starving student. She spray painted the default rims to red and bought a $15 dollar set of shiny hub caps to make it look fancy. Recalling that time in her life, Nile explained, “I think I was inspired by Pimp My Ride.” Nile put the Metro to good use and drove her fancy red car all over the US and parts of Canada, canvassing at least 150,000 miles in the 7 years she owned it.
Those trips have no doubt inspired her journey as a writer but she still understands the struggles that many have with continually needing content. When reading questions on writers block from her readers, Nile recognized a need to “hopefully help fuel the imaginations of bloggers, so they never have this issue again,” she said. “Avoiding Bloggers Block, or overcoming it seems to be a thing for a a lot of bloggers.” Nile’s goal is that attendees to her talk “will have enough resources and ideas” to “never have a problem creating content again.” And if not, she said she’d be happy to spend a quick 5-10 minutes pointing WordCampers in the right blogging direction at the Happiness Bar.
Speaking of happiness (and speed), Nile’s first dream car has always been a black Camaro with a V8 engine and dual exhaust Camaro style tail pipes. She’s a self-proclaimed “Chevy girl” and likes the current Camaro, even more. Nile owned a 2002 Chevy Impala with the Chevy police package. It had a V8 engine with dual exhaust and chrome Chevy Bowtie tailpipes and had been customized by a local sheriff. She remarked that he had to remove the county sheriff decals before selling it. Though Nile never pressed that car past 110 mph, she was well aware that it could definitely do more.
