Wonderful points, Ian, I find myself moving through the WHAT. First writing memoir, then novels, some poems published, and now short stories. Go figure.
Multiple 'whats' can be ok. I always have at least 2 projects going on in different genres (prose & poetry) just to keep things fresh. The important thing is that these align with the way you've answered the other 3 questions - and the 'why' and 'who' can be different for poetry and prose, for example... That's fine. Depending on the 'whats' you can hold more than one set of answers at any one time.
