Bluebonnet is the Place to Be
Or…I left my heart on the Rockin’ B Ranch.
When I originally came up with the concept of Bluebonnet, Texas, I didn’t realize I was supposed to be writing it all down. I was too busy playing and the characters were all my personal tinker toys :)
Even though at that time I didn’t know all the particulars, the basic tennants of every relationship stayed the same–everyone thought Maggie Boudreaux was uptight, Zander always had issues, Ty and Rhea never ended up staying together and Zack….Zack actually got paired with Toni in one scenario (and THEY were the FBI agents, not Zander hehe). I told you it was crazy…what’s that? Who’s Toni? Ton duBois ended up being Tim’s love interest. While Bo Foster was actually a new addition that came along in The Big Girl’s Guide. It’s really funny how you do things even when you don’t know why you do them–a thought that probalby only another writer could understand. I knew Zander was gone, I added Bo in as the fiddle player because well I needed one for TBGG and then realized that Zander was the missing fiddle player. It all fit.
So what’s the point of this long, crazy ramble? I heart Bluebonnet, Texas. :)
I’ve gone back to the very first story, which you already know if you read my regular blog, and I’m still wading through it–it’s Zack and Jessa’s story, and it still makes me laugh and cry (and occasionally cringe, I’ll admit. I’ve had more than one “what was I thinking” moment). My goal is to get it to LSB by March 1 (along with a couple other goals I’m working on), so stay tuned!




Ames, that’s great!
Hope the plans work out, hon!

Ya’ll don’t get too excited. the further in I get, the more I groan and moan about the shape it’s in. I can definitely tell I did a lot of contesting with this one.
I’m so glad you’re back to Bluebonnet! OIABM was so good. :) I can’t wait to read more.
