How far would you go to save your skin?
Spending some time with my main #WIP tonight, a novel about the story of Anne Boleyn. Working on the particularly trying epic of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. He sacrificed his prized possessions in order to save his skin from King Henry VIII. Spoiler: it didn’t work.
How far would you go to save your skin? Would you give up your most prized possessions? Do any of your characters do anything crazy to try and save their own skin?

“Her gowns of velvet, taffeta, and Lucca or Genoa damask, edged with fur and lined with black satin, showed her preference for strong colors– orange-tawny, russet, carnation. Her head-dresses, formerly set with semi-precious stones– cat’s-eyes, tourmalines, Roman pearls– now glittered with Henry’s presents of diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. These enhanced the depth and brilliance of her eyes, and drew attention to her hair which, when released, fell almost to her knees.”—The Challenge of Anne Boleyn, Hester Chapman
