A figure artist I know once told me that when she needs to get back to learning the basics, she goes back to eggs, sketching them to learn anew form and shadow and shape. 'An egg a day.' I like that idea.

Writers may not be able to draw eggs, but we can write about them.

So? How many? Think about this for a second and then make a list. I can tell you two for starters: One is to break it against the side of a metal mixing bowl. Two is to throw it out the window at the tree trunk outside your apartment. Other ways? Try to think of at least ten. Once you get going, you'll be surprised at how many ways there are to break an egg.
