I Got Laid-off Today

Actually I was laid off Friday, but I found out today, because I didn’t open my email until today.  And I must say, I’m a bit surprised at how hurt I was. I mean I didn’t like that job. Hated…

The NBA Bubble: How it Became My New Fascination

I’ve been obsessed with the behind the scenes NBA Bubble footage that the players have been capturing ever since I saw one of them on Jimmy Fallon.  And it’s funny, because I didn’t even mean to see the interview…well, I…

Did You Miss Me?

What’s up, guys! Just kidding — I will probably never write that greeting again. It’s so ubiquitous on YouTube, and I watch a lot of YouTube, so I thought I would bring it here. Remember that episode of “Martin” where…

What if it Goes Right?

One of the major things that stops me from giving myself fully to my dreams and my goals can be summed up by my fear of the answer to the question: “What if it goes wrong?”  The fear of the…

It’s Been a Minute

I think posting Monday through Friday is a bit much for me right now. I’m honestly not disciplined enough to be that consistent. So I think I’m going to take it down to one day a week, and then, if…

Today was a Frustrating Day

And when that happens, I just don’t feel like writing. I should get over that, because I have a lot of frustrating days. I would say a bad day, but today wasn’t a bad day, but I’m having the worst…

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.
