Recently, there have been two new stories that have caught my attention: the ESPN firing of Ryan Clark and the reluctant woman at Usher’s concert. When I think about those two incidents, one of the words that come prominently to…

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!
