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?

There’s a final major scene to redraft on the space mummy story and I’d like to get a new scene rewritten in the novella.

What’s inspiring me this week?

Delilah Dawson’s post on the topic of Why I Love Reading Smut. It’s short, but it captures a whole bunch of thoughts I’d been trying to articulate on the subject of reading erotica and romance novels, and why it’s important not to refer to such books as “guilty pleasures.”

Weirdly, I’d been reading the author referenced at the beginning, Lauren Dane, a whole bunch over the last few weeks. The Brown family books and the series that spin off from there are pretty damn incredible.

What part of my project an I avoiding?

Rapidly coming to the conclusion that my old writing timetables are not actually useful at the moment, and I need to sit down and think through the best way to fit writing into a week where my time needs to be more flexible.
