Writing Inspiration: The Will Smith, Chris Rock Oscars Drama

As you guys know, I rarely read books. Instead, I watch a lot of TV and rely on incidents like the one that happened at the Oscars last Sunday to inspire stories I tell and the scenes and scenarios therein. …

Do People Really Change? My Thoughts on the Topic via Last Night’s ‘This is Us’ Episode

So often when I tell people I’m a writer, they want to know what books I read, or recommend. That’s never an easy question for me, because I don’t really read much. I’m more of a TV watcher. About 20…

In the News: Naomi Osaka, Gabrielle Union & Ice Cream

It’s a new series, ya’ll! Wait, who am I, Kelly Clarkson? Anyway, I thought it’d be fun to every now and then do a round up of things that interest me in the news, and by news I mean, something…

A Little L.A. Traffic Rant

So this past Saturday, I went to an event in Malibu (which turned out to be sort of uneventful, but I’ll talk about that in another post).  In total I must have spent about five, maybe 10 minutes there after…

Writing in the Absence of Light

They say figure out what you love to do and find a way to get paid for it…or something like that. I think it was Kathie Lee Gifford who said her father told her that. And I guess with this…

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.
