I danced one night with a cowboy
He asked; I said yes, even though my friends were whining to go
I remember the smell of him, like new leather and spice,
The feel of his crisp white shirt and my hand in his,
And the way he held me close, like I was fragile and precious.
He asked if he could take me home, but I was spoken for already, so I thanked him for the dance
And went on my way.
A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Doing the best I can with what I have
kind of sad, but not so bad with cheese. cheese not provided.

But sometimes the dream is all it was meant to be. And often times that’s enough! ❤️ A sweet memory. ❤️

I’d totally forgotten about the whole episode until I started writing a romance novel set in Amarillo, TX. I swear the writing process brings up all sorts of memories.

I’ve finished the book, but I’m waiting for my first novel to be edited and published before I send this one to the editor. They’re TOTALLLY different books. Wondering if I need a pseudonym for the romance. It’s not terribly graphic, but there’s one scene that might shock my mother-in-law.

I say use your own name. But you could always do it with initials. Lol

I could! Sometimes I daydream about cool pseudonyms, though. It might be fun to write romances under a different name. I’d be less inhibited, I think.
