TEASER TUESDAY - THE FALSE PRINCE + 4 RULES OF WRITING... CRISIS

"Start as close to the end as possible." ~ Kurt Vonnegut

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. 

Anyone can play along! 

Just do the following:

• Grab your current read

• Open to a random page

• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

THE FALSE PRINCE ~ Jennifer A Neilson
MG/YA 

Civil war is brewing in the kingdom. To unify the people, Conner, a nobleman of the court devises a plan to find someone to impersonate the king's long-lost son. Once the imposter is installed as a puppet prince Conner plans to rein.

Four orphans are recruited to compete for the role, including a defiant boy named Sage.

This exciting story is full of plot twists and turns. It is all about the relationships Sage forms with the people he spends time with - a political manoeuvring - in this Game of Thrones ;)

"I'd never attempted roast thievery before, and I was already regretting it. It happens to be very difficult to hold a chunk of raw meat while running."

When I started to read this book I realised I had to shuffle one of my ideas to the back of the pack: refer to rule 4

MY 4 RULES OF WRITING:

·         Any time is a good time to write

·         Know your world and the conflict generated before focussing on the effect it has on an individual

·         Describe things that are specific and unique

·         If it is already on the bookshelves it’s the wrong thing to write

HAVE YOU READ ANYTHING RECENTLY THAT MADE YOU REALISE THIS WAS THE WRONG TIME TO BE WORKING ON A PARTICULAR MANUSCRIPT?
