The Sunday Circle is the weekly check-in where I ask the creative-types who follow this blog to weigh in about their goals, inspirations, and challenges for the coming week. The logic behind it can be found here. Want to be involved? It’s easy – just answer three questions in the comments or on your own blog (with a link in the comments here, so that everyone can find them).
After that, throw some thoughts around about other people’s projects, ask questions if you’re so inclined. Be supportive above all.
Then show up again next Sunday when the circle updates next, letting us know how you did on your weekly project and what you’ve got coming down the pipe in the coming week (if you’d like to part of the circle, without subscribing to the rest of the blog, you can sign-up for reminders via email here).
MY CHECK-IN
What am I working on this week?
Toying with a short story and a couple of blog posts this week, but mostly I’m just trying to get back into a routine again. I spent the weekend revisiting my monthly and quarterly checkpoints, winnowing down the project list to a manageable number, and trying to get my apartment into a fit state of habitable living.
What’s inspiring me this week?
So I finally caught up with the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies movie after everyone recommended it earlier this year and, oh my, it is quite good. I loathed the book version of this, but transferring it to film overcomes a lot of my objections and who knew Lizzy and Darcy would be improved by being heavily armed and engaging in martial arts exchanges?
What part of my project an I avoiding?
Endings, in so many ways. I’ve got a novel draft that needs an ending and three separate short stories that are stalled at the final scene, which usually means there is less issues with the final scene than there are things that haven’t happened through the story that will make the ending work.
