Movie Scenes I Love: Flora and Son Best Friends in the Park Scene

When it comes to female driven movies, be it romantic comedies or character-driven dramas, there’s often a cliched formula we’ve come to expect. The girl will get the guy, the guy will get the girl. The main character wins. We…

You are More than What You do for Work

We live in a society that often places value on people by what they do. The CEO is valued more than the secretary, the secretary more than the janitor, the janitor more than the person with no job at all….

When is Nothing Better than Something?

I’m writing at the absolute last minute again because I failed to plan ahead. My night-owl-ness has kicked in full-fledged now. I literally went to bed at around 6:30 this morning – not woke up, literally went to sleep at…

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.
