Exercise #499: Self Knowledge
Posted 12/21/12

Today’s exercise comes from Sue Frank. She sent me a copy of Dr. Mardy's Quotes of the Week which was all about compliments, along with the below exercise.

Write about a compliment, either one given or received. Show us how the giver or receiver (you or a character) felt about or responded to it.

Critiquers, you might choose to answer these questions for critiquing the piece:
     * Did you catch any spelling errors or other standard proofreading items? If so, note them for the author.
     * Can you relate to the SUB? Why or why not?

Word limit: 1200
Please use the subject line:
             SUB: Exercise #499/yourname

Why this is a self-knowledge exercise: This exercise may help you remember to compliment folks more, which could lead to others complimenting you!
