Today I took a big step towards making my space more writer-friendly. Okay, maybe it was a small step, though it kinda felt like a big step because of all the hassle I had to go through. But it’s a…

Confronting Writer’s Block

I sit down to write. I know exactly what I want to say. I just don’t know how to say it. I’m afraid to say it, because nothing that I say ever seems good enough. Nothing that comes to mind…

Open During Construction: Why You Should Embrace Learning as You Go

It’s weird, I haven’t been here in awhile and I missed it. It’s funny how that works, how something can be at times semi-excruciating while you’re doing it, and then you stop and all of a sudden you’re like, “Hey,…

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.
