One of the very first drabbles I ever wrote, from back in the days of working towards my Stubborn Limpet Award. Enjoy!



“Tell me again why we’re doing this?”

“Because she’s grown complacent, Estel – she thinks you’ve become tame.”

“She knows better!”

“Really? What happened to your plans for a week’s hunting with the ambassador from Rhûn”

“That was different. Eldarion was sick…”

“Estel, how many OTHER healers are in Minas Tirith?”

“She prefers I handle all the children’s ills.”

“Lap dog.”

“I am not!”

“Prove it!”

“I don’t know – are you certain this will wash out, Elladan?”

“Of course it will – eventually – won’t it Elrohir?”

“Come on - trust us, Estel. Would we lead you astray?”

“Yes.”

“Well…?”

“Valar. I’m doomed.”

The Stubborn Limpet Award is an in-house challenge at the Garden of Ithilien on-line writer's workshop site. To win one, a person has to write a minimum of 100 new words per day for 100 consecutive days.

After playing with an original novel for a bit, I decided to finish the rest of the about 80 days' worth by writing a daily drabble. It was a very interesting discipline to get into - I made myself work on my drabble before I could work on anything else (I think I was writing either Light Fingers or Elladaniel at the time.)

I felt like I'd actually accomplished something when I got my award, believe me! I'd upload the graphic I was given as my reward, but ImageCave is acting up...

That is a great way to keep writing. Good for you, I'd never manage it!
