Doin’ the Least, but Still Doin’ It

Since Monday’s almost over, here I am. I had so many plans in my head for today. I would make some phone calls, write, go outside…and, well, yeah, none of that happened. I stayed up late watching TV, watching YouTube,…

Adulting and Shopping at Trader Joe’s

Today, while looking around on YouTube, I came across this video about why people spend so much at Trader Joe’s, which reminded me that I wrote a piece about shopping at Trader Joe’s back in January that I never posted….

What It’s Like Getting My First Unemployment Check, Uh, Debit Card

I got my unemployment debit card today.  I was reluctant to apply for unemployment benefits because I never wanted to be one of those people who was dependent on the government for support. This isn’t my first time being unemployed….

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.
