Here’s a Look at What’s Coming Up This Week…

So this weeks’ posts are supposed to be all about creating life outside of your work and a career. I think so often we define ourselves by what we do,  be it a writer, a doctor a teacher, server, especially when we get that infamous question, “what do you do?” But I think as important as it is to create a career that you love, it’s equally as important to have a life outside of your career. So this week I want to talk about some of the things outside of a career that makes life fun. All though I must admit, since I’ve gotten behind in my schedule some career stuff may pop up as well.  

This week, I’m looking to talk about food, establishing a routine, bringing back a Movie Scenes I Love post, faith and Bible study, and maybe trying something new.

Speaking of trying something new, It’s 11: 10pm and I just got back from a screening (that was follow by a reception, you know I love free food) of the Apple+ movie Flora and Son. It’s a foreign film, and Irish film and I haven’t watched many foreign films.  If I weren’t invited to this free screening not only would I have probably never heard of this movie, but I’m sure I definitely would have never seen it. But now that I’ve seen it, I’m happy I did. It was a cute movie.  And I know I said that this week I’m going to talk about establishing a routine, but what seeing a film that I normally wouldn’t see has taught me is that deviating from a routine is good as well.

So yeah, here are some of the things that I plan to do this week:

  • Do another edit of my short story
  • Choose five editors from the list I found and reach out to them all
  • Exercise at least 5 times this week.
  • Establish a routine that includes room to go off the beaten path
  • And, we’ll see.

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!

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.
