Exercise #973: Self Knowledge
Posted 12/16/22
A friend of mine was telling me an anecdote and she said “I was with my oldest friend,” meaning the one she’s known the longest - in this case, since kindergarten. It got me to thinking . . . how many years does it require to change the category from “friend” to “old friend?”
Think about this for a bit and then give us an essay-type SUB on friendship or a scene involving friendship between characters.
As always, you may choose to show a character answering 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 #973/yourname
Why this is a self-knowledge exercise: Does “old friend” mean “better friend?” This exercise will help us examine our friendships, what makes them strong and might give us incentive to reach out to someone.
