Weekend Writing Warriors: Snippet 154- Teodora

Itโ€™s time forย Weekend Writing Warriors!ย Every Sunday, a bunch of writers post 8-10-sentence snippets from their WIPs on their blogs. Thereโ€™s a lot of reading, commenting and great writing. Click on the link to see the full list.

Sorry I missed last week. My husband had unexpected shoulder surgery and we were really scrambling for a few days. Everything went fine and he’s recovering pretty well, though he’ll be home at least six weeks. So I’ve increased my work hours, making writing time harder to find. I’m still inching toward the end of this book, though!

We’re back with Teodora, still being forced to recover from her bout with insanity. She’s decided to send for her old friend, Livilla Maxima, who arrives very quickly. Teodora is feeling put upon and starts complaining about her situations immediately.

โ€œThereโ€™s no one I can rely on, except you.โ€

Livilla cocked her head. โ€œNot even Elektra?โ€

โ€œEspecially not Elektra,โ€ Teodora snapped. โ€œShe botched the situation in Isenwald, and Iโ€™m still not certain she wasnโ€™t in cahoots with the enemy. Even though Princess Viviane ended up in power again, I suspect it wasnโ€™t meant to turn out that way.โ€ When Livilla said nothing, she continued. โ€œAnd then she joined with Mattila in forcing my abdication. Oh, and she married Jozef Mattila. I canโ€™t possibly trust her.โ€

  1. Teodora’s attitude reminds me of the Queen Dowager in a drama I’ve been watching. Well done! ๐Ÿ˜„

  2. Quite the list of grievances LOL. I can just hear her spouting them off in a very aggrieved tone – well done snippet for sure! I’m glad to hear your husband is doing better!

  3. Teodora has learned nothing. This excerpt reveals a lot about the woman. Glad ot hear your husband is recovering well.

  4. Teodora doesn’t seem to trust anyone. I’m curious to know if her reasons for not trusting them are legit.
