Granted, we've had our share of notorious characters, but we've also had some amazing human beings call this town home.

Absolutely fascinating. There are many notorious Old West towns in Texas, as well, not the least of which was made into a movie, "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." Gulp.

I know a lady who has been researching one subject for over twenty years and has over 600 pages of notes, but she doesn't feel she has enough research to write her book! And I wish she would, because it will be fascinating! For me, I get a "sense" that I'm ready--when I feel that I have enough to paint an accurate story world and I have enough details to support my plot. Like I said, though, this research was purely for enjoyment and not my story! ;)Gabrielle Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12479898337766911768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534168611594105953.post-36658418382976821272013-08-07T09:55:46.638-05:002013-08-07T09:55:46.638-05:00Thanks, Beth.

I admit I'd probably get bogged down in the research and never feel "finished" enough to actually start my own story! Cool how history can inspire thoughts and stories of their own, though.Lindsay Harrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379628592162011068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534168611594105953.post-82159508825215772942013-08-07T09:12:36.897-05:002013-08-07T09:12:36.897-05:00Ve-ery interesting.

Reading about all the stuff that went on in that town--the drinking, prostitution, etc--reminded me of Jody Hedlund's book, Unending Devotion.
