Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Second Chance 3 (three word Wednesday x 2 - figure, juicy, stress, blink, kind, occasion). Hello, been awhile, my apologies. The tale is a continuation of Second Chance and its sequel, the story of Russell's brush with Death. Enjoy, and thanks for reading. 8220;Why are you following me? The blond girl spun; her aggressive tone called unwanted attention from several students in the school hall. Russell lowered his head. Could it be an adult? What if it were? He frowned, reali...

Scratchpad: August 2013

Saturday, August 17, 2013. Writing landmark, The Cortez Case story complete. I'm proud to report that I've finally managed to complete draft one of my first novel length project, The Cortez Case! Spade shaped leaves hindered Susan’s vision of the garden shed. To the left, up the slope of backyard lay the Cortez mansion. The right rolled downhill into the night, the dock and private yacht obstructions against the moonlight on the sea. She dug her way onto the property under a boundary of solid stone wall.

Scratchpad: Delivery
http://jaythurston.blogspot.com/2012/07/delivery.html
Tuesday, July 31, 2012. This was written as an introductory offering to my friends in the writer group. It's more of a character introduction than anything. It's called "Delivery," and I hope you like it. Mead-fused beard bristles did not waiver as he brushed himself off and spoke. “Good day lass.”. 8220;Hail.” She tilted her head in a sideways bow. Traditional bows inhibited line of sight. 8220;I’m a courier, on a delivery.”. 8220;And to whom exactly? She folded her arms. “You’re. 8220;Out for a jaunt&#...

Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Wayne Status (3 word Wednesday - abuse, cramp, hatred). 8220;Day 100. Can you believe it’s been 100 days Dustin? Ugh, Wayne. Not Wayne. It’s too early in the morning for Wayne’s psychobabble. Every office had a. Was someone that loved to hear himself talk endlessly about nothing; someone people avoided eye contact with.

Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Keeping Up With the Necros (three word Wednesday X 2, demure, offend, volatile, charm, feast, robust). A cold got the best of me last week, so I thought I'd compensate for my absence with six words thrown into the mix this week. This one is for my friends Ernest, Mike, Scott, and Phil; friends of the real world as well as an online realm of days gone by, called Everquest. The gnome man flashed a shiny charm at the dark elf. 8220;That isn’t! Where’d you get that? 8220;I said...
