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?

I’ve got a rough draft of the conference paper down at the moment, which means this week is all refinement and building up. The core focus is just clocking up hours and making sure that I’ve got a next step–I lost track a little on the Thursday gone after hitting the end of the draft because I’m only thinking to the end of the current task.

What’s inspiring me this week?

I reviewed Alan Baxter’s Write the Fight Right as preparation for some coming manuscripts that are heavily fight focused, and it’s a really useful book for getting a bunch of little details you can use in a fight scene

What action do I need to take?

There’s a moderately urgent email to my supervisor that I’ve been putting off, and a whole bunch of filing that needs to be done. A lot of things are intentionally on hold until I’ve done my paper on the 23rd of January.
