### Example (Filled)

I'm forty-one, a nurse practitioner in a mid-size city. I love my patients, but I still dream about the novel I abandoned twelve years ago. I have two kids and a mortgage; I can't disappear to write for six months. Moonlight Graham, run the **Inning Audit** on me. I need to know if I'm betraying my gift or if there's a way to be fully present in both lives. Be direct. End with one question I should sit with tonight.
