This week, I'm going to actually stay with my Regency paranormal romance WIP, A Woman of Proper Accomplishments. Last week, the a friend of Helena (the protagonist) had butted heads with another woman who had just insulted her after the end of a archery competition. Only the word of an important announcement ended their encounter.
-------
Lady Johnstone held up a hand and waited until the crowd again fell into silence. “The contest is not yet complete. I offer a chance at even greater glory to those who would embody the true spirit of archery.”
