Otherwise, the first three notes are just crying out for some sort of stretto, inversion or tomfoolery of one sort of another. Try treating the subject in cells if you're stuck for ideas.

This is more or less what I have planned... when I get back to this I'll write a nice concluding stretto. I might add in a few new rhythms somewhere, not wildly divergent, just a hint of contrast. Your idea about the exposition is very wise; perhaps if I write rest of the fugue first, I'll then be able to figure out a more appropriate exposition. I'll post it as soon as I'm done!
