Exercise #659: Self Knowledge
Posted 2/19/16

Today’s exercise comes from a little book Sue F sent me (thanks, Sue!); “The Conversation Piece” by Bret Nicholaus and Paul Lowrie.

If you were given 20 acres of land and the money to develop it however you chose, what would you do with it?

As always, you may choose to show a character completing 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?

Word limit: 1200 for the two sections combined
Please use the subject line:
             SUB: Exercise #659/yourname

I consider this a self-knowledge exercise because what we would choose to do if money weren’t a limiter can truly give us some insight into ourselves.
