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.

Circle 4 of the things and incorporate them into the conversation of a man on a first date who is so nervous, he can't stop babbling about eggs.
