Exercise #588: Self Knowledge
Posted 9/19/14
Show us a time when you felt wanted.
I’d prefer you didn’t detail your criminal tendencies, but . . . for this exercise, show us the circumstances around a time in your life when you felt loved or needed, or when you belonged with someone or in something.
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?

SUB: Exercise #588/yourname
I consider this a self-knowledge exercise because in selecting the “scene” for this exercise, you will most likely remember a few of the good times of your life. Human beings tend to want to be loved, needed, or to feel like they belong to something important; remembering those times can help you realize why you felt that way.
