Exercise #308: Self Knowledge
Posted 3/20/09

We had so many great answers and such variety for Exercise #304, Joan Kilgannon suggests we use this self-knowledge exercise to explore future changes and advancements.

What do you think the world will be like in fifty years? What advancements do you think might happen and how will they affect us?
or
What do you think you’ll be like in five years? What changes would you like to see take place?

You may, if you’d rather, show a character answering one of these questions.

Critiquers, as always be careful critiquing these self-knowledge exercises. Tip: see if you can “see” the future with the author, or if you can relate to the interior changes.

This self-knowledge exercise will give you a chance to imagine what the world might be like and how that will affect you, or look into what you might want to change about yourself.
