Day 3 (Team July)

Here is the post to update with any extracts, thoughts, or comments you might have for today.

Keep the fires burning!

(Considering the temperatures we're currently having over here, I expect spontaneous self-combusting on my part. *sighs*)

Heirs and Graces

Phase 3 -- July's writing:

Image

Only a few more words today, but I also wrote another blog post (this time for Friday) and at work I finally finished the first draft copy for a 15k word booklet.

Reynard and Jones are still facing up to each other:

"I hope that thing's not loaded. You could do someone a nasty injury waving it about like that."

"That's the general idea." Jones took another two steps forwards, and pressed the gun to Reynard's head. He spoke softly. "See I know where you've been. I know who you've been talking to. People won't like that, if I tell them."

"What I know," Reynard said, as Jones very efficiently relieved him of his own gun, and two of his knives. "Is that it's a hanging offence if you pull that trigger."

"Who's going to care about scum like us? I kill you, that's one less villain on the streets. You think they'll care about one minor snitch, when there's bigger crimes they could be solving?"

Jones, you'd better pull that trigger quick - we all know what happens to villains who explain at length how they're going to kill their victims :)

Good, action-filled scene.

And we all know how hopeless villains are at taking advice too.

Thanks.

You have been very productive on many fronts!

Is a deal between villains about to be struck?

Thank you!

Something's about to be struck.

Sounds like you've been very productive!

Good scene - very convincingly nasty

Thanks on both counts.

Good tense scene! Two of his knives.... hmmm.

Thanks! I'm glad someone spotted that bit.

I love weaselly Jones. Speaking so softly while he threatens Reynard. But Jones is about to get his comeuppance, methinks...

And good progress writing on other projects!

Thanks. Jones may have picked on the wrong villain here.
