This is a view of Lighthouse and Capitol Peak I pulled from the Internet. It’s located in Palo Duro Canyon in the panhandle of Texas. It’s the second largest canyon in the U.S. and is the setting for the opening of the next story I’m working on.

I’m doing a lot of research right now. Geography, geology, flora, fauna, yada, yada.

What I’m stumbling over right now is getting the “bouldering” and rock climbing techniques down. Not that I have to use a lot of it. Just enough to make the heroine sound authentic. If anyone has any experience out there, I’d love some tips.

Research aside, I’ve already started on the story. Here’s hoping it’s as sexy and fun as it is in my head!

Progress on Texas Men, Novella #1 complete!

I finished up the rough draft of Novella #1 on Saturday, made my trip to Dallas and back yesterday. Now, I’m ready to take a break from the single author anthology and hit my contribution to the multi-author “Cowboy” antho. I have to finish it by the end of the month.

I have the next two weeks scoped out with a really complicated To Do list. Can’t let all my other obligations fall by the wayside while I throw myself into the next projects. But I have to tell you, the busier I get with writing, the more external obligations pop up. The four-year-old is back and I babysit a lot. Wouldn’t change that for the world, though. She lived with me, along with her parents, for the first three years of her life, and I’m not bragging when I say I’m her favorite person on the planet, next to her dog. 🙄

So what does today look like?
1) Write 10 pages only finished 4! :blush:
2) Blog on my website done!
3) Transpose recorded notes from my trip done!
4) Clean the pool done!
5) Prep promo materials for mailings and give to assistant to mail done!
6) Transpose notes from Art Guild meeting done!
7) Check in with DSRA members about their progress on stories for compilation done!
8) Wrap up AT3 idea with Allure authors note sent!
9) Send Romance Sells payment for AT2 promo done!
10) Arrange Romance Sells ad for Down in Texas and pay done!
11) Verify hotel arrangements for Lora Leigh’s RAW 2008 done!
12) Contact rider to RAW to finalize arrangements note sent!
13) Research: rock-climbing methods and equipment, Comanches in Texas, Palo Duro Canyon for Cowboy anthology
14) Gather messages and devise plan for Art Guild growth

Sound like enough on my plate? I’ll let you know how I do. I’m already getting a late start on the day because of the little one, but I have my coffee ready and I’m getting my butt in gear!

Progress on Texas Men

Almost there! I could probably finish the draft of novella #1 today. That’s my goal anyway. Tomorrow, I head to Texas to pick up the four-year-old from her dad, and Monday I have to begin work on a novella for the next Kensington “Cowboy” anth.

Deadlines didn’t stop from me from spending yesterday working on a concept for another story I hope to sell to Kensington. It’s lots more fun dreaming up new, shinier projects than plodding through the pages. Plus, I’ve made good progress and am still on schedule with everything else, so why not?

Thanks to all the ladies on my loop for helping me run through titles for the new project. And thanks to Renee’ and Heather for reading through my current WIP to make sure it was tight.

On a side note since I was talking about pools at Access Romance yesterday, I fished a frog out of the water this morning—twice! The stubborn thing hopped right back in after I rescued it the first time!

…and talking about my life as a pool girl. Be sure to scoot on over there and keep me company. Ask me questions! Rag on me if you like. I’ll be checking in all day since all I’m doing is sitting at my desk and writing all dang day long! Here’s the link: All-A-Blog

Progress on Texas Men

I was a last minute replacement on Renee Bernard’s Internet radio talk show last night. Of course, I was nervous and paced very fast, trying not breathe too heavily into the phone so you all wouldn’t think I was some kind of perv. I think it went well, even if I couldn’t stop giggling. Listen for yourself! It’s only 15 minutes! My Interview at Canned Laughter and Coffee
