Exercise #199: Self Knowledge
Posted 2/16/07

Today’s exercise comes from Cathy Furlani.

Cathy wrote in a CRIT:
“I bet if Michelle gave us an assignment of a stranger who comes to our rescue, we would all have a story. (Listening Michelle?)”

Indeed I was! Since many of you did last week’s Question exercise as a self-knowledge, you may wish to write this one as fiction. So, two options:

a) Self-knowledge - Show us a time in your life when a stranger came to your rescue, or
b) Fiction - Show us a stranger coming to the rescue of your character.

Word limit: 1200
Please use the subject line:
       SUB: Exercise #199/yourname

This self-knowledge exercise helps us relive a “Pay It Forward” event, and we may recognize something about that event now which we didn’t at the time.
