I read all of the exercises, but primarily focused on Opening Up Your Story, With Revision Comes Final Meaning and Ways to Begin a Story.
Because I personally get much enjoyment out of everyone's uniqueness, I think I probably infused sufficient details into my Maggee (special needs younger sister) character. However, I may not have done the same with Julie, which is why the Opening Up Your Story was helpful in this regard. I hope to have created a little more depth with her...we shall see.
I just simply enjoyed the With Revision Comes Final Meaning, and easily came up with my one sentence summary of the meaning of my story. "Knowledge comes from many sources, the most important one being your heart." I looked back over my draft to make certain this will be the take away, and hope that I accomplished this.
The last exercise I spent some time in was Ways to Begin a Story. I recognize that my draft had a weak opening, and have tinkered around with it a bit.
