She Needs to Create a Routine…and a Rich Paul

And she is me.  It’s 10:18pm and here I find myself, once again, writing at the very last minute, trying to achieve my goal of posting every day for the month of October. This is unnecessary stress I’m putting myself…

Where I’ve Been and What I’ve Been Up To…

Another day, another fired story on delay. I know, I know, but this I promise you (shout out to all the *NSYNC fans out there), I will post my fired story sometime next week regardless of how it is. Whether…

I’m Cultivating Self-Discipline Because Nobody Likes a Tease…

And believe me I’m not trying to be, but here’s another day, another fired story delay.  I don’t know what to say. It’s funny, because when I had that 9-5, I was very disciplined. I kept a really good schedule….

Can You Help Me Stop Stalling?

You ever watch those YouTube videos where they be like, “A Productive Day in my Life Vlog,” or “Come Spend a Productive Day With Me?” Well this is the opposite…kinda…I guess.  I did not work on my fired story today…at…

Maybe Tomorrow

My fired story won’t be here today. I have a serious case of writer’s block. Part of it’s due to the subject matter. But I’m starting to believe that a much bigger part of it is because I don’t write…

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.
