What happened to February?

It's gone. *poof* Just like that, the whole month of February is GONE. I thought when I quit work last September that time would slow down...just a wee bit. But it seems I'm more busy now than before, for some strange reason. The only good thing is that I am getting a lot of writing done. I've begun the rewriting of an old novel that I began in 1998 - before I knew what I was doing. It's another contemporary erotic western romance, titled "Mustang". The rewrite is tougher than I thought it would be, despite having the story part completed (well, sort of, it's rough). When you re-read something you wrote a long time ago, you realize the internal problems and must go in and fix them. The problem begins with the first fixing...it leads to more doors opening up inside the story and of course, as a curious writer, you follow them inside and then WHAM!--the story begins to change. But, I am liking this story more and more each day. It deals with the wild mustangs that roam our west, a history I'm passionate about. The characters, Sylvia Velasquez-a professor of equine sciences at U of AZ, and Kyle Montgomery-wounded ex-Marine/Cowboy, are so real to me. And they sizzle together!! Needless to say, I'm having a lot of fun with this story.

So now it's March. Spring *might* be right around the corner. I have seen those crazy robins in our yard already since last month. They're living off the frozen wild apples that still hang from the gnarly tree beside the pond in my backyard. Plus, my horses are shedding already, even though we're still in the 20's with lots of snow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed both the robins and the equines are right about that!
