Exercise #312: Self Knowledge
Posted 4/17/09

Today’s exercise comes to us from Sue Levy.

Show us the story of the gift you (or someone) never received.

You may, if you'd rather, show a character completing this exercise.

Critiquers, as always be careful critiquing these self-knowledge exercises. Tip: see how well you can relate to the giver or the receiver.

       SUB: Exercise #312/yourname

This self-knowledge exercise will allow you to think about gifts you wished you’d gotten, and maybe some you wished you’d sent. It might even help you realize there’s a gift right now, today, that needs to be given.
