What do you even want?

Like in the big, deep-in-your-bones way but also in the other ways

Write the phrase “You know what I really want?” and then free write for at least 10 minutes without stopping to answer that, describing what you most want in this moment. That could range from a cheeseburger to a COVID vaccine, a book deal to tater tots, or all of the above, and that’s the point. Absolutely do not stop typing/do not lift pen from paper even if you have to write “thinking, thinking, thinking” a few times before your next thought is there. Capture everything; edit later.
