Happy Six Sentence Sunday! 🙂
I finally finished the first draft of my novella about the Minotaur (working title: “Poseidon’s mask”) – yay! 🙂 I am posting today another excerpt from it (nine sentences instead of six – but some are really very short so forgive me!)
Here, the Satyr is talking to Asterion about Poseidon, Asterion’s father, and his wishes for his son, which aren’t what most fathers would want from their children:
The Satyr rose. Standing, he was much taller than Asterion, and his dark eyes glittered. “He sees much of himself in you. He’d want to test you, see if you are worthy. If you are divine enough. Savage enough. Wise enough.” He regarded Asterion with half-slitted eyes. “Question is, will you try?”
Hope you’re having fun with these snippets. 🙂 Check more out at http://sixsunday.blogspot.com/
It’s the conundrum of many a parent to see their faults in their children. Great snippet.
Divine enough – now that’s something to have to live up to
Very nice dialogue. Love myths.
A challenge offered in a great six!
Good questions. Does he really want to be like his father? hmmm.
Love the dialogue. Good six.
Oh! I want to know more!
ooo intriguing, Chrystalla. Great six.
This is phenomenal. I’m very excited for you to get this out there. Stop by http://allurevansanz.blogspot.com and comment to let me know when it comes out, I’m truly interested and LOVE mythology. And thank you SO much for stopping by my blog even though I must have screwed something up and lagged when I signed up this week.
It means a lot.
Be well,

Thank you all! Allure, thank you! Your words mean a lot to me too. 🙂
Ah, I see a test coming! Wonderful stuff.
you’re still in my ToBuy list… 😉
(BTW you commented my snippet from last week earlier, the new one is on…)
Nice six!
I hope he has what it takes!
Divine enough. Savage enough.
That phrasing really gets across the nature of the challenge there. Oof!
Those half-slitted eyes add so much to the satyr’s words. I enjoyed your snippet.
Boy, does he have a lot to live up to. Divine.
Nice six! Love stories about mythological characters!
And well done on finishing your first draft!
I suppose he will but what’s in it for him? Nice job!
Great set up! This is a very intriguing excerpt.
I agree with Jessica, great set up and very intriguing. Definitely want to know what good ole Dad has in store for him!
Savage and divine sounds like the perfect combo for an aspiring god, lol.
Love the ‘savage enough’ part!
what a challenge. Good 6
Thank you all for your comments!
