Thank you for this grown-up inspiration, Jami! I have been going through a process like this for a while, and trying to take myself more seriously. What do I want to write? How do I want to write? What can I write? Right now I'm trying to get a poetry manuscript in a submittable state for a couple of contests I very likely will not win .. I hate the words "win" and "contest" but ... sometimes you have to act like a grown-up : ) that's what I'll work on this weekend. Being a grown-up, taking it seriously, and getting it done. Thank you for your time and your vision. It makes a huge difference, for the better!

This is such a good prompt! My mind immediately went to taking whatever list ends up being made and thinking of each thing like a book in a bookshelf - a whole library of resources that one can pull from.
