Exercise 6 is incomplete at the moment as the story struck me as deserving of expansion and some extra thought, but it may be worth a read for those interested in the writing process, which is, of course, one intended audience of this blog. Will update when more has been written, but for now, version one and two can be found below.
Exercise Six: The Old Woman
The assignment:
"This should run to a page or so; keep it short and not too
ambitious, because you're going to have to write the same story at least twice.
The subject is this: An old woman is washing the dishes, or gardening,
or editing a Ph.D. dissertation in mathematics, or... whatever you like, as she
thinks about an event that happened in her youth.
