New Post Coming Soon

I think I’m going to change the posting date to sometime on the weekend. Since I go to a 9-5 –that’s not quite 9-5, but you get the picture — during the week, I just think it will make things…

Where I’m been & Finishing the Year Strong

So I’m back, and if you’re wondering where I’ve been – tired. That’s where I’ve been. I’ve been tired – just not in the mood to write. Just mentally and emotionally drained by shit that goes down in life. Stress…

‘Batgirl’ a Show Business Casualty: Why I feel for the creatives, but ultimately agree with scrapping it

I am just so fascinated with this “Batgirl” story that I’m eating up every article I can get my hands on like – well, what better metaphor can I use than popcorn? In case you’re not up to speed on…

How a Hard Night at The Hollywood Bowl Brought on a Simple Lesson

Perhaps it’s pretentious of me, posting this clip of myself singing along with the amazing vocal-stylings of Boyz II Men. But I hit that note when he sang the word tomorrow, though.   Excuse me, is you sayin’ somethin’? Uh,…

Just an Impostor, No Syndrome

I woke up late Sunday May 22, still lying in bed, when the contemplation began again: should I stay or should I go? It’d been an ongoing conundrum for several weeks, ever since I learned that “This is Us” would…

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.
