                                             Exercise #679: Self Knowledge Posted 7/15/16 
                                            Today’s exercise comes from Basheesima. 
                                            She said, “It has been very rainy and I curled on the couch next to a fire and did some reading. This caught my eye and thought it might be a fun/interesting prompt to do.” 
                                            I, on my side, require of every writer, first or last, a simple and sincere account of his own life. . . some such account as he would send to his kindred from a distant land...                       --Thoreau, Walden 
                                            Write! 
                                            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?

                                            Why this is a self-knowledge exercise: Basheesima sees it as one. :-)
