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

What am I working on this week?

Mostly, a holiday. I’m down in Adelaide for a quick Fringe Festival visit this weekend and I’ll be off the grid until Tuesday. This largely means I’ll be coming home and going straight into preparation for the university tutorials I’m teaching this semester and I’ve had this week blocked out as a “catch up on whatever project you want” as a result.

What’s inspiring me this week?

Fringe! Or, at least, I’m assuming it will. Expect a more detailed response when I return next week, but given that I’ll be attending a bunch of theatre, cabaret, and comedy shows in addition to seeing stuff at the Adelaide Writers Week, it’s a safe bet I’ll be grooving on the buzz that comes from being at art festivals.

What action do I need to take?

You Don’t Want To Be Published (And Other Things They Don’t Tell You When You First Start Writing) went out into the world on the 1st of March, but my attempt to get the free copies out to my newsletter subscribers was thwarted by some technological hiccups. Some folks have ended up with the unproofed copy I sent out to beta-readers instead. System is working okay for people who downloaded after I was alerted to the problem, but when I get back checking in with folks and getting them the right copy will be high on the to-do list..
