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 #40: Good Egg/Bad Egg

Perhaps you've heard the expression "C'mon, be a good egg." Or, "Stay away from him. He's a bad egg." Where do these expressions come from? Write a 100 word monologue of a character pondering this. 

Suggested first line:
"Well, good egg or bad egg, an egg is an egg"
