Exercise #841: Self Knowledge
Posted 2/21/20
Today’s exercise comes from Sue.
Sue said, “I just wrote a letter of complaint to the local newspaper. <snipped> How about writing a letter of complaint?... to a former boyfriend/girlfriend, a next door neighbor, a company, a baby sitter.... whatever. And for those who think positively, a letter of praise.”
There you go! Write either a letter of complaint or a letter of praise. For your SUB, you may choose to share your letter or you may show a scene that illustrates 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:
* 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?
Word limit: 1200
Please use the subject line:
SUB: Exercise #477/yourname
Why this is a self-knowledge exercise: Reviewing what we complain about (or praise) can lead to insight into our own feelings about living with other human beings.
