I explained about creative writing before, but I'll do it again real briefly.
A creative writing assignment is when you're given a picture and you have to write about it for fifteen minutes (Approximately. If you really get into it, sometimes it can stretch out to a half-hour.) It's something my mom came up with for our school.
I found this one while I was combing through my 30GB external hard drive for all my old files about Aouthentica.
So, without further ado, CW Number One! (It's kind of fan fiction. And short.)
Kael
Teilk bit her lip, trying to focus on the task before her. Impatiently she brushed aside the single long braid that hung down
the side of her face, but had an annoying habit of getting in her
eyes. All padawans had to wear them, but in it's original conception,
it had been placed so that one could tuck it behind their ear. Kael
was unfortunately void of such a feature.
Her
head-tails twitched as she tried to concentrate. Making a smoothing
motion with her hand, she began to use the force to untwist a short
trident. These particular tridents had four prongs instead of three,
and could only be found in her master's home quadrant.
Master
Yoda. Why of all the padawans to tutor, why had he picked a Twi'lek?
And a female at that? Besides the fact that a greater portion of all
Jedi were males, Master Yoda seemed to spend much of his time
concerned with humans.
"Kael."
Master Yoda's deep, scratchy voice brought her back to her task.
"Finished yet, you are not."
"I'm
sorry, Master." Kael closed her eyes, and with a surge of
willpower, straightened out the last two prongs of the trident.
Opening her eyes, she studied the trident. "Master, how are
these used?"
Yoda
chuckled. "With great skill are they used. Years of training one
must have..."
He
paused and shuffled over to the weapon. "...before one can use a
Reepir."
Setting
aside his walking stick, he leaned over and pick up one of the
reepirs. It was only a few tregametrics taller than him. He held it
straight out in front of him, parallel to the ground. Then with one
smooth motion, he turned, set the prongs in the ground, and swung
around the other side of it. Using his momentum, he pulled it out of
the ground, bringing it around quickly to stab an invisible enemy. He
sped up, performing many other astounding maneuvers Kael watched in
fascination. Then, in the blink of an eye, Yoda was before her, again
an aged Jedi Master, setting the reepir back in it's place in the
line.
"Master,
you are truly powerful with the force!" Kael said in awe.
Yoda
didn't answer for a moment, gazing at the reepirs. Then he said
quietly, "Use the force, I did not."
Kael
felt curiosity bubbling up inside her, but something about Yoda's
solemn demeanor silenced her questions. Yoda let out a sigh, then
picked up his walking stick. Turning, he faced the reepirs and waved
his hand over them. They crumpled and twisted in seemingly impossible
ways.
"Begin
again." Yoda commanded, resting his hands on his staff.
And that's it. Obviously I didn't do a whole lot of research, since Twi'leks do seem to have a sort of ear thingy, but that's okay. Like NaNoWriMo, the point was just to write, not to make sure all your facts were correct. Actually, in a lot of ways, the creative writing assignments are a lot like mini-NaNoWriMo's. Or NaNoWriMo is like a month long creative writing. However you like to look at it.

I really liked this one, ear thing or not. ;)
