Exercise #481: Self Knowledge Posted 8/17/12
Today's exercise comes from Sue L.
Sue said, “Once a week our newspaper magazine features an article in which a person gives advice to his or her younger self. It could easily be entitled 'Dear Me'. I'm sure we could all do that with the benefit of hindsight - what a wonderful thing hindsight is, if a bit useless because it often comes too late.”
So there it is. Starting with “Dear Me,” write yourself a letter.
As always, you may show a character tackling this exercise instead.
Critiquers, along with a technical critique, you might answer the questions below. * Can you relate to this letter? * Why or why not?
