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?
Finished up the first act arc of Float last week, so I’m going to spend this week attempting to get down the first sequence of the second act in rough draft. Maybe five or six scenes, all up, plus continuing work on some short-story rewrites.
What’s inspiring me this week?
To no-one’s surprise: Luke Cage. I’m not sure if it’s the best of the marvel Netflix shows, but it’s definitely the smartest they’ve done so far. Cage draws on some pretty cheesy source material, but it does a great job of updating the Blaxploitation origins of the character to the 21st century. Cottonmouth gets the best villain introduction they’ve done since Kingpin in season 1 of Daredevil, complete with a scene that is just magically shot.
Also, a whole lot of Misty Knight, and Clair Temple.
What part of my project an I avoiding?
I’m meant to be finding a certain amount of time each day to focus on writing, but Saturday’s are proving to be the hard ones on this. I need to sit down and figure out how to get myself working on the weekends, so I don’t succumb to the temptation of goofing off.
