This week, I managed to write a few thousand words of the action draft of One Good Cowboy. Astounding progress? No. Not at all. But it is progress and I'm not forcing anything. That's what is most important. It's coming along well. It feels more and more like the first short interlude of a much longer story, which I like, and I'm even more certain now than I was before that it's going to give me the chance to write one good gay romance. Ty and Heather both feel like good characters and their story is sweet and funny. To me, anyway. We'll see what readers think when I finally finish it.
I also bought a new laptop. I've spent the majority of my working hours today doing things like backing up my files, downloading programs, and setting up my preferences so the system looks and feels the way I like. This is very exciting for me. I've been working on netbooks for the last three years. I know I'll still use the netbook for work sometimes, but it's just really nice to have a larger screen and a more powerful machine. Today, I downloaded GIMP and Scribus and Thunderbird. The process has inspired a blog post, so in addition to the new workstation, I got a post idea, too!
