Exercise #583: Self Knowledge
Posted 8/15/14

Today, detail how you wind down at night.

Show us the routine you go through when shutting things down for the day. Give us descriptions of the rooms and the things you touch. Help us experience the end of your day. Teach us to see what you see.

Please don't include details like your home address, names of people you call or anything you’re uncomfortable sharing.

As always, 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.
     * Could you relate to this? If so, how?

I consider this a self-knowledge exercise because in trying to show someone else what we're doing, we'll pay attention to it ourselves, at least for one day.
