The Mereland
Kennel Mistress
soo. UH.
Sarah's idea is good, and I've never really tried that before, but I'm willing to try to throw out drabbles for any one of my characters - the three above, Grace, Valincia, and Clarice - or anyone else I have bouncing around.
I do my short-writing exercises in a slightly different manner, so you may get something longer than 100 words, although that will definitely be in there, too. Feel free to suggest words for any character mentioned, just let me know who you'd like to see written about.
To start it off, here's something I wrote based on the phrase "Not a model."
~~~~~~~~
Not exactly the model picture of a Templar when you got down to it. Grace was pretty sure - actually, no. She was positive that as a responsible Templar she should not be sitting in an abandoned house feeding kittens from eye droppers.
She coughed and spat, not bothering to look. She knew it'd be full of gunk and blood and that was probably bad, but she was a Bee. Medical attention was not even on her list of priorities, all she needed to do was get from point A (Here) to point B (Somewhere she could leave kittens.) Could of course, leave them here and quietly reset things for herself, but that was lazy ... and she never much liked the idea of dying as a cureall. It settled uncomfortably in her mind, brought back feelings and thoughts locked away for years.

Take it away, folks.
