Exercise #788: Self Knowledge
Posted 12/21/18

What do you put off doing for as long as you can?

I got around to doing something I’d been putting off and was pleasantly surprised at how good it felt to have done it. And I wondered . . . was that feeling simply because I’d waited so long?

Show us a scene where you put off doing something and then do it, or give us an essay about it.

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

Critiquers, you might try answering these questions for critiquing the piece:
