The Director*

He hit me with a cheesy opening line that I regret I don’t remember. Followed by several self-deprecating ones that I’m sorry he felt necessary to tell. All before, unsolicited, he revealed that he was a director, and immediately I…

How I Write: A Review of Last Week’s Post

Don’t you hate it when you have to make a decision, and either way you choose you win, but either way you choose you also lose? But anyway, that’s not what I came to talk about, just something that was…

Writer’s Block

I hate posting this, because I feel like it’s an excuse. And, well, maybe it is, but it’s also the truth. I have a serious case of writer’s block right now. Or maybe it’s just a case of I don’t…

Short Late Post

So if you came here yesterday looking for a new post, you didn’t find one. I wasn’t sure what I was going to write anyway, but full disclosure, I had horrible cramps yesterday, and I couldn’t bring myself to do…

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.
