Exercise #679: Self Knowledge
Posted 7/15/16

Today’s exercise comes from Basheesima.

She said, “It has been very rainy and I curled on the couch next to a fire and did some reading. This caught my eye and thought it might be a fun/interesting prompt to do.”

I, on my side, require of every writer, first or last, a simple and sincere account of his own life. . . some such account as he would send to his kindred from a distant land...
                      --Thoreau, Walden

Write!

     * Could you relate to this? If so, how?

Why this is a self-knowledge exercise: Basheesima sees it as one. :-)
