Wednesday Roundup: The Getting Fired Edition

Hey everyone! It’s Wednesday Roundup time — that time of the week where I assemble some of my favorite social posts and share them here with you. Now that I don’t have a 9-5, the days sometimes just run into each other and I totally forgot today was Wednesday. Guess that will just bide me some time to get my fired story together. Since this week’s theme is all about getting fired or being rejected, I’ve rounded up five posts that helps me to put this time in my life into its proper perspective. I hope it can begin to do the same for you — enjoy!

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.
