My Self-Publishing Journey: You Don’t Know My Name -the beginnings of a marketing story

I used to love that song, “You Don’t Know My Name,” by Alicia Keys when it came out in the early 2000s – the inspiration for part of today’s title. I thought it apropos because you, reader, don’t know my…

Made a Right Turn, Immediately Thought it Was the Wrong Move, Then Got a Life Lesson Out of It

About two years or so ago a Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream opened in Carlsbad, and ever since I found out about it I wanted to go. Of course there are LA area shops that are much closer – none of…

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.
