What are your central relationships?
I’m a fan of the Welcome to Night Vale podcast. I initially started listening when my youngest was a baby and I was up nursing him two or three hours a night, and needed something to keep myself from falling out of the rocking chair. The show had just started a few months before he was born and it was a fun, surreal adventure to match the one of having a newborn. That podcast is now thirteen, and the child will be this weekend.
As a donor, I get a regular newsletter from the writers, actors and creators of the show. This month, one of the writers discussed the importance of ‘central relationships’ to scripts. She learned in a screenwriting class that most stories are about two central characters and their relationship to one another. She then extended that to discuss the central relationships in her writing for the show itself, specifically one of the creators and one of the regular guest stars, and how those relationships informed and inspired her work.
As you go about your work, consider the central relationships that show up in it, and how you help one another to get things done. I know I wouldn’t be where I am without Mr. Starter, or my kids, or my parents, or several professional colleagues that I’ve worked with over the past two decades. Reflect on what these relationships bring you and how they help you get things done. Maybe you’re inspired by those you spend time with. Maybe you want to support them. Maybe you love contributing to what they produce. Maybe you want to make them proud.
How do central relationships impact you as you get things done? Please let us know in the comments below! If you’d like more support in finishing projects, find me on https://thefinisher.org/ for one on one assistance!
