This week, I want to open things up again and have another free-for-all exercise, as an opportunity for us to review what we've been doing and each decide what we'd like to work on.

So there will be no set exercise. You can do (or redo) any of the previous exercises, or a variant. Make sure to meet the exercise format: setting a specific topic or aspect of writing, then submitting a suitable text. (The previous exercises are archived at http://www.internetwritingworkshop.org/pwarchive/index.shtml )

Or you can create your own exercise - perhaps you want to work on some aspect of point of view, or characterization, or story plotting. Is there some aspect of writing that's caused you problems, or which you think would provide an opportunity?
