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 #10: How'd That Egg Get Here?

Take a few minutes to do a google search about the origin of the egg. You might want to try search terms like 'Origin of the Egg' or 'Where Do Eggs Come From?' Absorb the information, perhaps jot down some notes. Then write a short piece about a character sitting down to eat an egg which incorporates some of the facts and trivia you have found.
