And My All-Time Favorite Romantic-Comedy is…

Boomerang! Did you guess it? And now for some unfortunate news. I feel bad for writing this because I just did this on Tuesday, but writing is not comfortable for me right now as I’ve developed a crick in my…

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things – Christmas Song Edition

So I’m switching things up a bit, because this is trial and error for me. I was supposed to have my reading and critiquing previous posts story up today (well actually yesterday, then it got moved to today), but after…

There’s No Way I’m Going to Finish Today’s Planned Post by 11:59pm

I’m exhausted, but that’s not an excuse. The real culprit can be chalked up to poor planning. I should’ve started writing earlier, like days ago earlier. I got extended and picked up some extra hours at work, ’cause Lord knows…

It’s Big Back Season

Recently, I came across a clip of a young boy doing a mukbang with his grandmother on YouTube. During that clip he declared it’s big back season. Indeed it is. I’m not sure when the term “big back” got popularized…

Wishing Me a Prolific Writing December

Ever since I discovered that I most likely have NOT gotten my 10,000 hours in to become an expert writer, it’s left me with an unsettling feeling. And so, I’m counting on the month of December to help me get…

Stories Rising

With the year winding down, I feel the need to step up my writing. I have all these stories in me – stories I’ve already started. Stories calling out to me. It’s getting crowded in my head. I have to…

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.
