It’s Been a Minute

I think posting Monday through Friday is a bit much for me right now. I’m honestly not disciplined enough to be that consistent. So I think I’m going to take it down to one day a week, and then, if the spirit moves me, hop on in between with a little somethin’ somethin’.

For now, I’m still trying to figure out what I’m doing and why I’m doing it. Right now, I’m going to go listen to a podcast, then read a script I wrote almost three years ago, and that I’m still trying to make better. Tomorrow I’m going to get up, go walking, get ice cream, and spend as much time as I can watching movies. Today I started watching “Motherless Brooklyn.” I got about 15-minutes into it before I switched to HGTV. So, tomorrow, I’ll start it from the beginning and hopefully finish it. I’m able to watch it because I got HBO Max for what initially was just supposed to be a month so I could binge the full season of “Insecure” On Demand, yet it’s been about six weeks already, and I just can’t seem to part, but having gotten the first bill is helping me.

Have a great weekend!

Hello! Welcome to Shirscribe! I know my face doesn't look so welcoming in this photo, it's just that I did those braids myself and I actually like this pic. But I am really happy you're here, so come on in, have a look around, read a post or 50, comment if you'd like and come back soon!

Introducing My Writing Practice!

You know, writing rarely comes easy for me. Most of the time I mull over it forever, then edit it and edit it,  only for it to still be filled with errors, or just not be quite right.

Part of the problem is I’m reaching for that old unattainable perfection. The other part is I need to read and write more.

So this is me, writing more.

In this series, I’m giving myself two hours to write about a topic of my choice nonstop, and 30 minutes to edit it before I post it here, just as it is.  The great sentences and the incoherent ones with spelling and grammatical errors too.  I’m just going to write and see what it will be.

I’ll be posting these writing practices once a week. I’m not sure which day, and maybe no particular day, just one time a week, with no end date as of now.

I can be so insecure about my writing, so I think this will be helpful.

Here’s to writing and getting better at it!

Thanks for reading!

Mood…

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. — Psalm 46:4

Lord, let me be that river.
