Exercise #404: Self Knowledge
Posted 1/21/11
Today's exercise comes from Susan Frank.
Write a letter that shares your every day (or every week) routine with the group, or your annual “Christmas” letter.
We have had a “leaving the house routine” exercise once before (Exercise #112), but this one encompasses a bit more of who you are. Remember to show, not tell!
You may, if you wish, show a character tackling this exercise instead.
Critiquers, you might choose to answer these questions for critiquing the piece:
* Did you catch any spelling errors or other standard proofreading items? If so, note them for the author.
* Did the routine make sense to you? Why or why not?
* Did you see yourself in any of it? Why or why not?

SUB: Exercise #404/yourname
Why this is a self-knowledge exercise: This is one of those exercises where we’ll probably learn more about ourselves by reading other members’ SUBs. The other routines will make you see your own in a different way.
