“E.B.White’s first draft of Charlotte’s Web began ‘A barn can have a horse in it.’ I once gave a writing class this sentence as a warm-up exercise to see where it would take them. Much of what I first did with that exercise has changed, but my opening line remains ‘A barn can have a horse in it.’ (Thanks, E.B.)” – KS
