The job (if you agree to take it)…

Posted by: Michelle  /  Category: belles lettres, querying, writing
While tormenting my brain with query writing/revising/rewriting/vising tonight, I started something that felt like it could work! for the query. But no, it just turned into a writing exercise, though admittedly a fun one. Too fun to throw out, which is why I’m sharing it here.
Save the Prince (sure, easy) from an enemy kingdom (no problem) without them knowing (of course) and before the planned execution (obviously). Oh, and don’t forget, your guards will betray you (that’ll make things more exciting), then lead the foreign army in its hunt for you (time to dodge and roll).
Yes, and the Prince will try to claim you as his next conquest (Wait, what? We said nothing about romantic entanglements. I’ll get in and out, do my job, but there’s no way I’ll let some prick of a prince put his moves on me.)
If you could finish this by next month, it’d be appreciated, as we’ve a war to plan. (Sigh . . . )
