Wednesday Roundup:

Hey Everyone!

It’s that time again. That’s right it’s Wednesday Roundup time. Now I know I said I was going to get rid of the themes, or maybe I thought I said that…I don’t know. Anyway, I don’t know if I can stick to a theme every week, but this week as I was scrolling through Instagram, a theme just seemed to present itself. I’m not exactly sure what to call it, maybe don’t give up, keep the faith, or maybe that’s one in the same, so take your pick. But this week’s Wednesday Roundup is filled with some inspiration and motivation to help you on your way to your dreams.

I personally have so many unrealized dreams, so many failed attempts. But what I’ve come to realize is that as bad as the failure feels, it doesn’t feel as bad as not trying. I’ve done enough not-trying to know that it’s the not-trying coupled with the inevitable failure that comes whether you try or not that’s worse than trying and failing. So fall down, get back up, don’t give up, keep the faith and keep going. Take it from me, I’ll be 44 in less than a month and I’m still chasing dreams I had as a teenager, while trying to self-publish a book I wrote in my early twenties and also job-hunting after getting fired a few months ago. I think it’s worth it. But, like LeVar Burton used to say on Reading Rainbow, you don’t have to take my word for it.

Let’s do this…

I think I might need to include food each week.

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.
