How can a writer describe writing the same sentence a hundred times ?

Question

How can I describe the punishment of writing the same sentence a hundred times . I'm looking for a better sentence than "Do you want to write sentences ?" or "Do you want to write the same sentence one hundred times ?"

Answer 1

Jack Torrence Syndrome. :)

Answer 2

The description of writing the same sentence a hundred times, could start out by listing the feelings you have. Your emotions, your character and beliefs, the pros and cons, the how's and why's, and a multitude of other creative effects can bring the senses into a self realization that catapults confabulatory descriptors. For example, I could smell each sentence I was writing like a cold winter fog, I could see the black muck of contorted ink dripping across the page, I could taste the pain in my hand as the pencil I was holding exhibited the feel of putty dripping from my tender appendage, etc..

Our senses and emotions were given to us by our creator to help us have feelings to love, to hate, to protect, and to motivate. Communicating those feelings through the written word lifts us from the punishment of the exercise of writing a 100 sentences and moves us to a cloud of emotional and spiritual freedom, but only if we can use the time to catapult ourselves to that liberty. It was John Milton in "Pardise Lost" who helped us understand that point when he wrote “A mind not chang’d by place or time. The mind is its on place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven”.

Good luck in your quest.

Answer 3

Writing sentences 100 times would be boring and monotonous, and, for a writer, ie, someone with creativity, most likely, mind-numbing..

Answer 4

Writing and reading should never be used as punishment. It turns kids off of them by relating literacy to misbehavior.

Answer 5

Excruciating?

Answer 6

I think you're trying to have someone say it in your story so...

hmmm

How about 'punitive repetitions' or 'I will nots?'

"How'd you like to be writing 'I-will-nots' for the next two hours, missy?" Mr. Walker growled.

"That's it! Punitive repetitions for you! I think 'I will not spit on other students while speaking' sounds good. 200 times, begin now..."

Answer 7
