Exercise #777: Self Knowledge
Posted 9/21/18

What is your “useless” talent? I think we all have one; something “miraculous” that most other folks can’t do, but one that isn’t marketable. You can’t go on a talent contest show with this one!

Show us a scene involving your talent, or give us an essay about it.

As always, you can choose to have a character do this exercise instead.

     * Did you catch any spelling errors or other standard proofreading items? If so, note them for the author.
     * Could you relate to this piece? Why or why not?

Why this is a self-knowledge exercise: Even the unmarketable talents are talents, and it’s nice to remember something we’re good at occasionally.
