build a concept
from words and stanzas,
make it stand like the structure of a house

but the house still needs full walls and floors and a roof to keep it dry
so decide:
are the walls paragraphs of a story?
is the foundation actually one a play can stand upon?
or will the covering shelter end up being a whole novel?

or will it stay a poem forever?

only reviewing and editing can do that —

but only writing the first few words
will give you the skeleton
to build upon
