I've written a few small stories, mostly, ahem, erotica. Write what you know, they say. Or what you think about, at least. ;-)
Anyway, I'm very interested in learning to write better. Most of my real writing experience is in technical articles (I'm a scientist in real life), so blowing the dust out of the written word appeals to me. I think I'll try submitting something to your (only) exercise. And perhaps write up some musings I've been doing on the question Who is that omniscient narrator dude, anyway?
I appreciate your holding down the fort, waiting for folks like me to show up.
