Exercise #596: Self Knowledge
Posted 11/21/14

Who has saved your life? Show us the story behind it.

Now, I don’t mean “he rescued me from a burning building” (although that would certainly qualify); I’m asking for you to really think about it and find one person in your life who made a big difference, even if what he or she did was very small.

As always, you may show a character tackling this exercise instead.

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.
     * Could you relate to this? If so, how?

Please use the subject line:
             SUB: Exercise #596/yourname

I consider this a self-knowledge exercise because thinking about people who changed your life for the better can teach you something about yourself.
