 Quite obviously, some do not know me as well as I would like. >.>

If I am going to implement something like this, I would not just let people hang without feedback and help. I am a teacher, therefore, it would be in my nature to make sure help is provided, guidance given, etc.

Rest assured as soon as this begins after the new year, it won't be some horrible, wham-bam and done with exercise.

Thank you for clarifying that point, Eukara.

Really I think, the best way to improve your works is to find the balance between making characters, and telling their story.

It starts with ideas - which begin with questions:

*What is the setting?
*Who are the characters of this setting?
*What are they like?
*How do they interact with each other?
*What are the problems they face, and how do they overcome them? (Or not)

Most importantly - I think, what kind of message are you trying to convey by writing a story? Mine are designed to try to inspire people with tales of struggle, overcoming, confidence, friendships, optimism and courage, all of which are absolutely essential to human growth and progress.

In a way, I am like a teacher - I try to make the reader feel that if a character can overcome their problems with just a little "push" in the right direction, they might as well.

 @Eureka Vox; I don't know if you read Writers Digest, but you might look at back issues of that magazine. I don't know if they still do, but they used to include a monthly writing exercise, that might be interesting to look at as a guideline to creating writing exercises.

 I actually remember them doing that.

I have an exercise... have had one for a while that I've already used with my tutoring student. But getting from point A to B seems to have eluded me. I will get that ready and post it Monday. It's a fairly simple exercise but one that relates to writing dialogue. If I play my cards right, I may be able to get it posted tonight.

But, yeah, Superjars and I talked about this recently.

 I have a couple of exercises I could suggest too, if you want to know about what I had in mind, feel free to PM me. I worked up a few for a workshop I was supposed to give at the Abeline Writers Guild. A lot of what I work with is character development.
