Writer In The Making

I've decided to do it, For a few years, my friend, mentioned in this blog post, has been trying to get me to write a novel. Well I have decided to go ahead and do it since she has just published her fifth book. I'm a sucker for romances, I know they aren't too healthy for the mind of a Christian, but I just want to see if I could do it. I probably won't publish it but I promised her about four years ago that I'd write a book.
It's set in 1906 in Boston. We go on the Transcontinental Railroad to California and meet our heroin a couple days before the great earthquake and fires in San Francisco. A lot of shaking happens, then back to Boston and even to New York to hear Teddy Roosevelt talk. It is a lot of research and hopefully it will be a readable story. My mother an avid Romance reader will be the final testing ground. If she likes it, then I'll know it's a success.
