Owyhee County has a lot of quartz so I had to find out what Betsy would be looking for. Then I needed to know what breed of goats she had so I could describe them. Believe me, I had no idea what I was getting into with that! And how to make goat cheese and soap. Took a while. Then the other stuff--such as how long an abdominal wound would take to heal and what she'd be given for anesthetic. As for the sharpshooting, riding, and cooking, I just use my own skills and experience, so no research there.Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-497132339180830712014-06-04T18:02:19.186-05:002014-06-04T18:02:19.186-05:00Thanks, Caroline!

I actually can cruise right along if I don't have to think too much on the way, which is why plotting works better for me than some of my other writer friends. The biggest issue is getting a chance to actually write without the house falling down around my ears.Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-59859094733572818232014-06-04T18:00:04.898-05:002014-06-04T18:00:04.898-05:00Thanks, VV!

I didn't realize how much research went into 'Don't Go Snaring My Heart', because, as usual, you make it look so easy.
