I do have to admit that the last time I took part in 3WW, it was much easier. I had just come home from an amazing vacation, and I think any words would have worked to remind me of my trip. This time, it's a bit harder, but I'll try to do my best.
She had never been a charming girl. Even in kindergarten, the age where any child can coax a smile out of an adult, she had been the sullen child in a corner. The one that never smiled, played games that made no sense to an outside observer. No one ever asked the rules.
What some people took for rudeness was really only a solitary nature. Content with the feast of her imagination, she needed no others.
Much like the taste of a robust wine, she caught a little on the palate of those unused to her. But over time, you developed a taste for her.
And then the complexity of her actions made others who were more easy to understand seem bland, stale.
Really just a short character sketch. I like the feel of it though. I can tell that I've been reading Dashiell Hammett, it sounds like a combination of a Sam Spade novel with an edge of Thin Man to it.
She doesn't have a name yet, or much surrounding her, but I can see her starting to take shape in my mind.
Now to only find something for her to do!
