Writing Exercises

[SkyhunterCommander]

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any good writing exercises that would allow me to work on an aspect of writing while still writing something that would still be submittable to a fiction workshop class. (I need to hand in more pages, but I think too big for short fiction/don't want to spend time outlining a story that will end up rushed and probably bad.)

The only one I can think of as an example right now is the dialog one that Brandon Sanderson talked about on his Facebook a while back, (the dialog one, which Writing Excuses subsequently devoted two episodes to, and I am currently having fun doing now).

I'll take any suggestions, as long as it allows for some sort of cohesive narrative to be written in addition to whatever it's designed to help me practice.

Try Dan's short story writing exercise.  There's already a thread for it.
