Here's a writing exercise, tossed out to see if anyone's interested:
Jane awoke to find her wrists and ankles bound. She looked up to see John, holding a feather in his hand. "I know just how ticklish you are," he told her.
1. Rewrite this using different names, changing the tone and/or giving more description so that the scene is less generic and blank.
2. Rewrite #1 from different points of view (POV).
a. Third person from the ler's POV.
b. First person from the lee's POV
c. First person from the ler's POV
d. Either first or third person from the POV of someone other than the lee or ler. This may be the POV of a third character actually present in the scene, or from a narrator's or camera-eye POV. (You may do this more than once.)
3. For extra credit, expand one of the results from #2 above into a story of 1000 or more words. Give yourself one extra point for every 1000 words written.
If anyone else does take this on, then I will too.
