The novel is so stylistically wide open that I can never find my voice.
but songwriting or poetry, those are my favorites.

So far i find the whole thing very intimidating. I have a really good feel for the flow and structure of a short story, and so far the novel thing is pretty comfortable too (although a little overwhelming in scope)...
I want to write movies more than anything, but the feel of it terrifies me. I have a certain degree of self-doubt that doesnt exist in the less structured formats. When i think about it, it is bizarre, too. I am a programmer, which is a VERY structured writing style, but it is well within my comfort zone.
