My Thoughts on 5 Random Previous Posts IV & V

So this post was supposed to come out yesterday, but my neck and shoulder flared up again. It’s so weird how muscle pain works. It starts to feel better and so you think you’re healed only to make one false…

Like yesterday, today I’m just going to dive right into to. My neck is feeling better by the way – still some residual pain though. But enough about me now, let’s talk about me then, as in November 6, 2021,…

My Thoughts on 5 Random Previous Posts I

If there is one thing that I hate doing it’s reading my own writing. I want it to be perfect the first time I put pen to paper, put finger to the keyboard, but it’s almost never that way. Every…

The End is Only the Beginning

So I made it to the end of the first week in December, and well, it didn’t go exactly as planned. Last minute set backs sprang forward that I wasn’t expecting and had no response for.  One day I picked…

Thoughts on The 90s Rom-Com Classic, Boomerang

There are spoilers here. “Boomerang” was like the first black romantic-comedy I think I’ve ever seen. Of course there was “Coming to America” before it, also by Eddie Murphy, but that movie felt more like a comedy with some romance…

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.
