The Sunday Circle: What Are You Working On This Week?

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

Keeping this short today, because I have the flu.

What am I working on this week?

Forward progress on drafta stalled on Thursday when flu symptoms hit, but I’m taking that as an opportunity to spend this week typing up second drafts of the first acts of the Exile redraft and Project Rad.

What’s inspiring me this week?

Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares, which is a phenomenal program for writers as cooking is another industry where people dream big and deny the realities of standard business practices.

Its also a show where Ramsey looks to the development of young chefs working in poor environments and focuses on pushing them to get excited about food and potential, trying to fire ambition. we should all have such pep talk in a creative lives.

What action do I need to take?

Emial and admin fell by the wayside as I got rundown last week, so i need to take a day to get back on top of things
