It's time to open up the list to the exercises of your choice again!

This week, you choose what exercise you want to do. You can redo an exercise you've done previously, do one you've missed, or create your own - a chance to explore some aspect of writing you'd like to improve.

I'll suggest an additional possibility, for those feeling ambitious. You might try combining two exercises: for example, you might try to combine the recent exercises on body language and on motivations (or any other exercises.)

Since you choose the exercise you want to do, you can also determine your own length limit. If you felt constricted by the word limit in a previous exercise, this is your chance to write something a bit longer (but don't get carried away!), or alternately, you might try to achieve something in a minimum of words. The choice is yours - I look forward to seeing the submissions this week.
