Exercise #811: Self Knowledge
Posted 6/21/19

How do you feel today?

Really. Take a good, long look at your overall well-being. Physical, mental, financial, social. They all matter. We could have a vast network of friends and family, but if we don’t feel physically well enough, spending time around them won’t always be a good thing.

Got it?

Now share a scene with us which illustrates what you found.

As always, you can choose to have a character do this exercise instead.

Critiquers, you might try answering these questions for critiquing the piece:
     * Did you catch any spelling errors or other standard proofreading items? If so, note them for the author.
     * Could you relate to this piece? Why or why not?
     * Could you get a sense of the character’s overall state? Why or why not?

Why this is a self-knowledge exercise: This exercise should give you a chance to reflect on how you’re doing. If some areas need some work, it might give you some incentive to do so.
