Want to write something romantic for Valentine's Day? This may help!


Maybe this year you want to write a poem, song or even a love note to your loved one, to let them know how you feel about them, but you have no idea how to write anything. I have the answer to your problems! Generators! There are generators for almost anything on the internet, they even have generators to write out song lyrics, poems and much more. 

So what sites are out there to help you with your quest to provide you with a little help with your writing and what can you expect? I've done the hard part for you and searched the internet far and wide and tried the generators.

I are it Generator

Sadly the site that homed the letters is gone, it disappeared after  Geocities went down, many years ago. I have though seen this generator still going around the internet even after the loss of it's main website. The I are it generator is still around and really easy to use. You select what you want your poem to say from the many dropdown lists on the page. 

My Example:
Dear Love
I am dreaming of you day and night.
You and I are of one heart, one soul.
I can't imagine life without you and I would do anything just to see you smile.
Please agree to never change and if possible, promise you will be mine always.
If you will inspire me further I would be willing to make it worth it.
I hope and pray that you love me too.
Your Humble Servant
Amethyst

 The Calculator love quote generator

The has Calculator a drop-down list a bit like I Are Its love letter, but instead of writing a love letter I found their love quote generator to be a bit fun. We all know I love quotes,and finding the perfect love quote to let your loved one know exactly how you feel about them is fun too!

A love quote:
"The love we give away is the only love we keep."
~Elbert Hubbard
 Crazy Horoscopes Generator
Don't let the name of the site confuse you, there's actually a love letter generator on this site, and this one's really cool! You can pick if your love letter is mild (like between friends) or passionate. You'll be able to select your recipient's hair color, eye color and answer a few multiple-choice questions about your person to get your love letter! 's
I wrote a love letter to myself during this mild letter to see how well it worked. It did mention about plugging a TV into my eye sockets! If you're okay with a letter that gets slightly weird, this may do the job! They also have a love poem that you may want to copy and paste to give to your loved one!
My example
My dearest Jen,
How are you? I hope you are well.
I wrote this letter because I thought it would make you smile.
What manner of creature can resist your gorgeous deep blue eyes. They've always reminded me of electricity and I've often wondered if they can glow in the dark and light up an entire room at night. Maybe one day we can plug the TV into your eye sockets and it will run on the electricity generated by your lovely blue eyes.
I really must tell you though, I absolutely adore your gorgeous eyes! I think if God created something truly amazing, then its definitely gotta be your eyes! I know some people say the same thing about horses and giraffes, but I think your eyes exceeds anything else!
Wishing you a happy Valentines Day!
Yours Truly,
Myself

FTD's Letter Generator

The company you order flowers from also has its own little place for creating your own love letter. It's a fill in the blanks sort of letter, quick, easy and to the point. If letters aren't your thing, maybe copying and pasting a poem or a quote is better. They offer that option as well.

All you have to do is scroll to the bottom of the page under the picture that says, "Love Note Generator" and chose who the letter, poem, a quote is geared towards (friends, spouse, parent, or date) and click what generator you want to use and tada! It's done!

My love note is to Freya, my darling little kitty! She needs to know she's loved too!

My example
Dear Freya,
Words can't express, how much you mean to me. Every day I spend with you is beautiful. You are my kitty cat. I love the way you cuddle with me when I'm sick and how you help me with my blog posts. To me everything about you is purrfect!
All my love,
Your human girl

Love Song Generator 

From love letters and a love quote on to love songs we go! Song Lyrics Generator is a "Tool for aspiring songwriters" You actually have to answer a few questions to get your lyrics, like "Your lover asks, "What do you love most about me?" You reply one sentence to him/her:" You fill in the blanks and it writes the song for you! 

This has been one of my favorite places when I go to when I'm bored and think about writing a song. I chose an unrequited love song to nobody in particular to get these lyrics.

My Example
I'm afraid you'll turn away 
--Verse One:--
I saw you on the TV
Now you're here and you don't know why
We'd be happy as I always dreamed
Caught in my fears 
--Chorus:--
I'm afraid you'll turn away
But you can bet ... you got something to say
I think about you night and day
I'm wasting my time 
--Verse Two:--
You don't even know I exist
Can't you feel the weight of my stare
I love the way you smile
You make everything so clear
(Chorus)
Chorus to fade

 Poetry Generator

Answer a few questions about your loved one, and press enter. If you don't like what's written in one of the lines click on the line and you'll be able to choose a line that you like more, if for some reason you don't like any of the poems, refresh and start again.

If you don't want a love poem you even have the option of writing a Valentine's Day poem or a poem or any other type from the list. There are so many options. Today, I'm going to write a Valentine's Day Poem, it looked like a bit of fun! 

My Example
Be my Valentine
I could wait an eternity for your kiss,
and I take an oath we will be
a kiss in darkness
a memory of a scarlet heart

Poetry Games Poetry Creator
This generator is actually meant to help people of any age learn how to write poems, what better place to write a poem to your beloved than to use a site like Poetry Games? You're learning how to write a poem and writing how you feel!

I actually had a chance to write one of my favorite poem types for the example and was actually really excited to do so. I had a chance to write my own romantic quatrain! 

My example
You're so Beautiful
Your eyes are the perfect shade of blue
I don't know how much I could possibly love you
Any more or any less
I wish for the best
Whatever type of generator you use, remember that the poem, lyrics or letter still need to come from the heart. It's easy to click buttons to tell someone how you feel but in the long run, but remember it came from the heart, the place that your love comes from.

Top 5 Favorite 5: My Top 5 Suggest to work around Facebook Blog Blocking

It was a few months ago, I talked about Facebook blocking my blog, I've learned that I'm not the only one having this issue and that it's becoming very common for Facebook and Instagram both to block anything that has Wordpress or Blogspot in the link address, they'll even go to the point of not allowing shorted url links. There are however a few tricks that I've been working with that may help everyone else affected by the blogging ban. 

From what I've been reading it's because people like using Blogspot, and Wordpress as a place to Spam on social media. Even if you're not doing anything wrong, your blog will eventually be subject to being blocked on social media.

Needless to say that the thought about changing my blog link or starting a new blog isn't going to help at all. I had to figure something else out. Before I start, forget about contacting Facebook or Instagram, the more I read on the topic the more I see that this isn't really an option and there's still no resolution for any of the bloggers! 

1. Share via-twitter
The one site that has yet to block anyone's links has been Twitter. If you haven't signed up for Twitter yet, I suggest you do that. Once you sign up for Twitter, you can actually share your twitter post on Instagram, Facebook or anywhere else you've been blocked. Just remember to post in your Facebook or Instagram link to check out your Twitter link for more information

2. Add your webpage to photos and graphics
It's another reason why I have suggested when you ask questions to turn it into a graphic as well, all of my graphics have a link to my page, so that people may actually type in the link to look at my blog post.

3. Typing the link differently or just writing down your blog name
The suggestion given by my hubby is another great workaround if you're having issues with Facebook and Instagram. If Facebook and Instagram are blocking any address with Blogspot or Wordpress. Change the link a little bit, add space in the word Blogspot or Word Press add a space between the dots, and get creative. For instance AmethystMoonbeams . blog spot . com may be a plan. If you don't want to do that, there's actually another suggestion, just let people know to check out your Blogspot blog and give them the name of your URL. Just typing in the name in on google or adding the Blogspot or Wordpress plus the name of the blog on Google will bring up the name of the blog you're looking for. 

4. Get a custom domain
By the end of this month, I will have hopefully found the best custom domain and domain host for my page. I don't what host I want to go with yet and really want to research them. But this is going to be one of my goals to blogging this yeat.

think outside the box

5. Check out alternative social media platforms
Last but not least, find some alternative platforms. Learn what other platforms are out there. I plan on making a whole new list of social media platforms to use eventually so stay tuned! Just because it's the end of the road with Facebook doesn't mean that it's the end of the road there are more places to investigate!

Tag Thursday: Spread The Love Tag

We're a little under a week away from Valentine's Day. I found a tag that's actually romantic for my blog post. It's actually The Spread The Love YouTube Tag, I'm going to spread the love to some of my favorite YouTubers.

1) Which YouTuber from your subscription list would you most like to hit the bar with?
 I don't drink, but if I was able to choose a YouTuber to actually hit the bar with, which isn't actually a YouTuber anymore would have to be Danny Burke. The first videos I watched of his were his Dummest Twitter posts video. I don't know how many times I couldn't breathe because I laughed too hard.

2) Which YouTuber from your subscription list would you most like to go shopping with?
Angela Benedict, I love her sense of style and a lot of her videos are talking about how to dress goth on a budget. 

3) If you won a million dollars what one YouTuber from your subscription list would you share it with and why?
Chris Ulmer of SBSK, his videos are so uplifting and so inspiring. I love hearing people's stories and I love how he brings awareness to people who are different. If I shared the money to him that it would go to a good cause.


4) It’s the end of the world, your tablet/iPhone/computer only accesses YouTube and you have 10 minutes to live. Whose videos from your subscription list would you watch?
Good Mythical Morning, the way I see it if the world is going to end, I'd like for it to end when I'm laughing. It wouldn't matter what video I chose, they all make me laugh so much I want to cry.

5) Which YouTube couple from your subscription list would you most like to vacation with? Where and Why?
Squirmy and Grubs, Hannah and Shane would be my choice of couples on my subscription list. They seem like they'd be a great couple and we'd get along the whole time. I'm not really sure where I would want to go through.


6) Name a YouTuber from your subscription list you would want to switch shoes with for one day?
Steve Cash, I'm sure if I was able to switch shoes with him for a day, Freya would want to go with just so she could be around her friend Sylvester. If I didn't know better Freya has a crush on Sylvester.

7) You’re invited on Jeopardy and can only bring one YouTuber from your subscription list, who would you bring?
Emily from Snake Discovery, even though I can't be sure, I have a good feeling she'd be a great teammate for Jeopardy. She's a really smart woman, and I've learned a lot from her. 

8) Which YouTuber from your subscriptions most needs a shoutout?
Scott, from Scottie's animals. Anyone who has as big of a heart that he has, and is willing to rescue guinea pigs while being able to educate people needs more shout outs! I've learned lot from Scott, about guinea piggies. 



9) You just left the club, you’re walking down an alley and some scary characters start coming your way. Which YouTuber from your subscription list would you want there with you?
I'd pick Rhett from Good Mythical Morning, he's tall and I'm sure just his sheer hight would scare people away. 


10) What YouTuber from your subscription list do you gain the most inspiration from?
Almost all of them. I really can't name one YouTube that I think I gain the MOST INSPIRATION from.
