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.

Egg #58: Gallery Eggs

An art gallery has an exhibit of eggs drawn by a local artist, and it is opening night. Record a few lines of conversation by a couple who attend the show, a few lines between the woman who works at the gallery and a friend of hers, and a few lines that are exchanged between the artist and his or her significant other. This is all about perspective--looking at the same event from a few different viewpoints.
