I’m Taking A Break…

There’s no regular post today. I’m taking some time to reevaluate. I’m learning how to step up my social media game, particularly with Pinterest and Instagram. I really want to be more active on Instagram, I just really don’t know…

One Lesson I’ve Learned so far from My $20 Day Trips is…

I’m gonna need a bigger budget! It’s funny, when I started these $20 Day Trips, it came from a reasonable place – a responsible place. That, and it was like a cute, fun little challenge to maximize my minimal funds….

Why Sharon Osbourne’s Blow Up at ‘The Talk’ Matters

I’ve been eagerly awaiting CBS’s daytime gabfest The Talk’s return, wondering how they are going to address the Sharon Osbourne debacle that took place live on-air on March 10.  I turned on the TV yesterday (the day they were scheduled…

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.
