I see.
Some of the questions I ask myself especially as of late ..
How does this help my wife and children? When I write I often consider the posterity. I want my children to have works from their father that makes their life easier.
I ask am I putting my wife first?

Before I start. I try to ask what is it that I am making? I like to have a vision of what it is I am writing.
Also why? What is the purpose of this piece (even if it is a totally simple non important reason. To know helps alot)

I would ask myself who is this for? Above I stated I always consider my wife and children. However not every work is meant for them to read.

I ask... Do I enjoy doing this? I have found myself rejecting the work I have began because I hated what I was doing.

I ask myself what colors I want to use? ( This is an abstract question) but I I like to paint. And many parrells are between writing and painting. I do not see my writing as just black and white words. My writing depicts images in my own mind

I ask when do I want people to recieve this? Is this for right now. Or will my target receive it later?

I ask can I protect it and how? ( When I was a child I wrote a story in marker. I spend days on it. So much work. And then it rained! And I lost all that work. And for I long time I did not write stories again for fear of simply losing what I made)

I ask does this make sense? Many projects we are able to pursue... But does this leave me in a better position in the end? Or will by the time I complete this shall I be left in a deficit ?(of energy resources and time)

I repeat this one, what is it that I am making? Am I writing rhymes? Am I writing a story ?

What else would I ask ...
What is the aim? The definite purpose?
The end goal?
Moses, wonderful list of questions. By thinking things through, you can solve the problems before you ever get there. I thought your idea about knowing what you don't wanna do -- what will make you crazy -- is so basic to your happiness. Just because you are good at something, does not mean that you must do it! I've had people tell that I must do something because I good at it. Wrong. I can do what makes me happy. . It’s my choice!
