I found a fun writing exercise: rewrite the sentence one-hundred different ways. At least it's fun so far but I'm nowhere near completing it. Maybe by the time I'm up around one-hundred I'll be really frustrated and annoyed. I used the first sentence of the story I'm writing for Summer of Giles. It took me about twenty minutes to generate these twelve sentences. (The first is the original version of the sentence from the story.)

After another hour I'm up to twenty-six sentences. It's definitely getting harder.
