Exercise #550: Self Knowledge
Posted 12/20/13
Think of a time in your life when you entered a story. It may have been part of your own, that of a friend, or even a glimpse of one belonging to a total stranger. Did you find out the end of the story? For us as writers, I think the ones we don’t see end hold the greatest interest. Sometimes we can make up our own endings.
Show us one of these:
* The part of the story you know, or
* The part of the story you don’t know.
You may 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.
* Do you see why this story caught the author’s attention? Why or why not?
