Good afternoon…an update about today, from the desk of Jayce Wellspring…
Today has been a day. I got started early and began by drinking a cup of coffee, followed by yard work, and it culminated in loading up some things at our cabin. Now, I am home and sipping coffee. I’ve not accomplished much writing recently, and I’m worse off for it. I did finish A… Continue reading

The conclusion to A Joyful Life…unedited, but a complete draft…
During the fall of 2022, I raked leaves into a pile in front of my cabin. As I looked around, I began to notice how blessed I was. For instance, I had lost a home in 2011, but now I owned a house that was paid off and thirty acres of land. I’d lost a… Continue reading

Wishlist…?! Prompt Answer…
This question threw me for a loop for a second. My wife said, “I wish I could spend more time remodeling my home into a state of completeness.” That’s a pretty good answer.

A Joyful Life…a bit of my personal testimony…unedited and incomplete…
For His anger endureth but a moment; in His favor is life: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Describing me…Prompt Answer…
What is one word that describes you? Man, I hate these questions. Mainly because I don’t see myself the way other’s do, and it wants me to describe myself. Hmm. Loyal, that’s a word I use to describe myself. Truthful, brutally so, but that’s another word I use to describe me. Stubborn. Grouch. Friendly. Redeemed.… Continue reading

It’s A Wonderful Life in rainy Mississippi…A morning musing from the kitchen table…unedited…
I’m up and about this morning, but I’m not in a hurry to do much. The weather is rainy, as it has been all night, and it shows no sign of relenting. I cooked breakfast for my wife, and as we sat at the table and ate, I stared out at the back patio. “This… Continue reading

Clubber…a fresh snippet of the work in progress…unedited, incomplete…
Tammy walked over, bag in hand, with Lilly right behind her. “Preliminary cause of death,” Tammy began, “was blunt force trauma to the head. I’ll do the usual work up, and see what other surprises await. Give me a couple of days, and I’ll have something for you.” With a nod to Katlyn, Lilly and… Continue reading

Cross Country Travel…Prompt Answer…
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike? At 50, I’m more likely to buy an airplane ticket and fly. However, it’s always been a dream of mine to board a train and travel cross country that way. I’ve ridden far too many buses in my time, and I’m not keen… Continue reading

Clubber…fresh writing, straight from the desk of Jayce Wellspring…unedited, incomplete…
Konan studied his new partner, his eyes taking in the woman known as Detective Katlyn Prescott. She stood a flat-footed 5’8 and in heels she stood near 6’0. Her red hair, styled in a pixie cut, meshed well with her blue-grey eyes. Katlyn was toned, at least from what Konan could observe, and she carried… Continue reading

Clubber…new writing, unedited, incomplete…
Detective Katlyn ‘Razor’ Prescott laced and unlaced her fingers outside the maintenance shop, and she kept shoving her left sleeve up to check the time. She let out an exasperated sigh and watched the crime scene personnel fingerprint the doorway. Where is he? She muttered under her breath. Tammy Bowen, Medical Examiner for Fredericksburg, smiled… Continue reading
