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 shelved Float until November after realising the story had strayed from the outline and I’d need to re-think the second half. I’ve switched over to working on a short novella, working title Bad Dog: Origins. I knocked over about ten thousand words over the last week, so I’ll be aiming to get six or seven scenes down in the coming week.

What’s inspiring me this week?

I’m in Lansdale country again, after starting on the Hap and Leonard TV series on Google Play and picking up the second novel in the sequence, Mucho Mujo. Lansdale continues to be a master of voice in every story he tells, and I’ve stockpiled a few more of his books to read in the coming weeks.

What part of my project an I avoiding?

I do need to devote a little extra time to fill the big holes in Float for when I resume working on it in , and I’m going to claim a few extra hours to work on my tax return in the coing week.
