Writing Exercise

Think about a conversation you’ve had with another person recently. Without changing any of the objective facts, depict that conversation from the point of view of the other person. The goal here is to explore how the other person subjectively experiences the same objective facts that you experienced. (Note: this exercise will be easier if you depict a disagreement or misunderstanding.)
