Cautionary Tale vs. Fairytale

In life we are all straddled with expectations. Many are imposed on us by society, others we adopt on our own along the way. And even the ones we consciously or subconsciously embrace are often, if not heavily, influenced by…

I’m Coming Back

Just write. It’s a bit of…or not even a bit of, just a straight up challenge to begin writing here again. I stopped because I was overwhelmed with frustration about many things not going the way that I wanted them…

Wednesday Roundup: Just 2 Again

So I missed last Sunday, and I don’t even want to talk about it. I was going to write a post on Sunday saying there will be no post, like I usually do, but then I wasn’t even up to…

I’m Not in the Mood to Write

Interesting what words I choose to capitalize in the title, but anywho, as the title says, I’m not in the mood to write. I’m in a funk. Just been feeling discouraged lately. I don’t want to do anything, and I…

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.
