From YWP Writer Fiona Ella: This is a template for the questionnaire I use when I’m at a stage of revising a project where I already know my characters and narrative fairly well but need to get to the next level.

tonight was not the same as other nights
and i think i like it. 
tonight i finally voiced my questions
about who i was. 
i just up and told my parents
that i don't think i have anxiety, 

this is my horror screenplay! i wrote it with the intention of making something my friends and i could shoot that would be fun and mildly scary, not a transcendent work of art, so i'm aware that the plot isn't perfect, but... yes. this is a thing.

i am
confused. 
i'm always confused--
sometimes i feel like my default state
is existential questioning. 
and i don't know if an uptick in existential questioning
warrants a poem, exactly, 

i dreamed of the attic again last night. 

i ate a peach today. 
the fuzz was rough and prickly
and i hated the feel of it on my lips and tongue. 
the hair on my arms stood on end with every bite
a nervous system in silent protest
