Exercise #195: Self Knowledge
Posted 1/19/07

Fill in the blank and tell us:

Why I avoid <blank> . . .

For instance, you could tell us why you avoid eating broccoli, swimming in deep water, or dogs. Perhaps you’d rather tell us why you avoid rooftops or your in-laws. Whatever you choose, be specific, and thorough.

You may, if you’d rather, show us a character telling another character why they avoid something.

Word limit: 1200
Please use the subject line:
       SUB: Exercise #195/yourname

This self-knowledge exercise makes us define our reasons for avoiding something, and by doing so may give us some new insight.
