Writing exercises

In Writers.com's 24 of the Best Writing Exercises to Become a Better Writer, Sean Glatch suggests "Write From Different Perspectives."

Glatch says, "Try these ideas as daily writing exercises:

*Write a story with the same plot, but with two or more perspectives. For example, you could write a lover’s quarrel from two different view points.
* Write from the point-of-view of a famous historical figure.
* Write a story or poem from the perspective of an object: a statue, a doll, a roomba, etc.
* Write from the perspective of a person you dislike."
