Farewell Six Sentence Sunday!

1/26/2013

20 Comments

 
I have so much enjoyed being part of this tradition.  Even though I know many of us will continue it in some form, it is still a melancholy occasion to have the official SSS over.  Thank you to all the friends I have met, all who have visited, all who have commented, through Six Sentence Sunday.

This week I will continue from last week, in Chapter 18.  Prince Gregory seems to have struck a chord with everyone.  He's a charmer, so that's not really a surprise. :o)  We join him as he readies



          He moved back three paces to the next line, tested the second dagger, studied the target for a moment, and before anyone expected it he had flung the weapon straight down the field.  This time the blade struck where the heart would have been had a man been standing in the dummy’s place.  
          The approbation was deafening—clapping and cheering, and none was louder than that of the prince’s own family.  Maksim jumped down from the royal box to congratulate his new brother. He was indeed honored that the boy had wished to pay tribute to him.  The people cheered louder at this.



 
For reference, Prince Maksim of Muscovy is betrothed to Gregory's sister, Princess Sylvia, and Gregory very much looks up to Maksim.

That's my six.  I'll see you all around the web as I make the Six Sentence Sunday rounds one last time.  Thank you for letting me be part of your Sundays.

Lovely description :) Makes me wonder where he would have planted the third dagger, had he been allowed one. Good for Gregory to make the opportunity to show his skills to everyone.

Great descriptions here, Kate! Here's hoping we'll run into each other on other snippet sites in the future.

I'm so glad he did well, and that you shared it today! I'll admit, I was worried---though more about never knowing how his last throw would go!

Nice six. There are at least a facebook page and an 8-sentence variant http://www.wewriwa.com/2013/01/welcome-to-weekend-writing-warriors-r.html and Skye Warren's might go, too.

Wonder if the target practice comes in handy later? I hope you are feeling better! Great to have met you on SSS and we still have Twitter and blogs!

I love how clearly you described his movement in your first sentence, and how well that flowed into the rest of your snippet. Well done! I've had a wonderful time getting to know you SSS, and hope our paths continue to cross.
