In 2026, I Shall Write Novelettes!

2026 arrives with a brand-new light,
To set my creative path just right.
No longer bound by a tiny space,
I’ll find a much more rhythmic pace.
A short story ends just as it starts,
Leaving no room for beating hearts.
But novelettes let the vision grow,
With enough time for the plot to flow.
A novel is a mountain steep and tall,
Where many weary writers start to fall.
The middle ground is where I’ll truly shine,
With "just enough" words to make it mine.
In twenty-six, the stories will be grand,
The perfect length held in my hand.
Not too brief and never far too long,
This is where my voice will find its song.
