Challenge #476
Your challenge today is to do something completely new.
Find a single sentence (just one, no more than that) of prose (not dialogue) that you have written -- anything, whether it's been finished and posted or it's a work-in-progress -- and that is at least twelve words long. Rewrite the sentence in some way you've never done before.
Some ideas:
* Emulate the style of an author whom you've never tried to emulate before.
* If it's a drama, imagine instead that it's a comedy and make the sentence humorous, or vice-versa.
* Write it as a line in a poem. Bonus points if it's a sonnet and you do a rhyming couplet in iambic pentameter.
* Switch the viewpoint to second-person present tense. (This assumes you've never written second-person present tense before.)
* Look up synonyms for every word in the sentence and rewrite it using them.
