Ephiphany
Think of a time when you (or a character in a story you're working on) had an epiphany-a moment when you believed, finally and absolutely, that you had the answer to something (yes, this is the woman I want to marry; no, I was never meant to be an architect; yes, it's the right thing to move to Columbus), but which turned out to be wrong. If you want, use the phrase "suddenly I realized" as a way of spurring the epiphany on.
Write down the
precise events that led up to the epiphany (what you were doing, where you
were, who you were with, etc.).
