didn’t miss it

What would I do if I stopped writing?

I didn’t write last week. I was on vacation. I read three books I had to review. I watched some television. But I didn’t write and I didn’t feel bad about not writing. I didn’t feel the compulsion to write something down. I didn’t even open my dollar store notebook because I had an idea. I had no ideas, other than who the point-of-view should be for the last chapter of Wolf Children (You’re not actually going to call it that? Geoff says when it comes up in conversation, but I worry we’re past the point of calling it anything else.)

What if I stop writing? Is that really such a bad thing?

Who will I be then?
