but, should i want to write a book,
what book should i write?

should i re-write my first ever finished novel?
try to make it less about what i needed to hear
[and say]
at that moment in my life, and instead keep
the characters and their journey
and clean it up a bit
for a more
general
consumption?

should i try to finish up the novel i started
recently
with magic at its core
with a [relatively] scientific explanation

should i create my silly idea for a choose your own adventure novel?

should i write the fairy story of a person writing a fairy story
that they need
[and i probably do, too]

should i instead focus on play-writing?
or putting together a collection of
already written poetry?

i think i want to fall into a novel
like i did five years ago…

maybe that first option
really is
the way
to
go

one day of national novel writing month
down
and only twenty nine to go

every year i wonder
why i do this to myself
and every year
the emotions stagger and flow
and i feel accomplished

but what in the world do i do
after this?

November 1, 2021

November
my birth month
November
the start of the race to the end of the year
November
the beginning of chilly weather without the distraction of spookiness
November
this time last year
i started a novel
and succeeded in writing a bunch
of it
every
single
day.

will i succeed again?
