A Writer's Search History Can Be Puzzling

I spent some time on the internet last month researching the parts of a saddle and bridle, types of horses, trailer hitches, dog behavior, cowboy hats, head injuries, patient assessment, and the topography of Brown County, Indiana. All for one story.

Later I spent more time researching the horse racing industry, handguns, mushrooms, John Wayne, skin glue, and Japanese names.

Yeah, I'm back in that fiction writing game. At least until I get done with the first draft of We Love Trouble, and go back to researching for nonfiction.

I love this job.

Ah--so that's a horse. Thanks, Pokagon Saddle Barn!

    I sure hope nobody is watching mine! It still amazes me that I haven't had a visit from NSA.

    I've looked up things like the newest explosives, coffins, and poison. It's a wonder I haven't been reported. Have fun with the research.

      Research is a blast! Except every now and then when you can't find something that should be obvious, then it can be very frustrating.

    Some of my internet searches can get quite weird.

      I don't think there's any writer who can't say that--and it's lots of fun, isn't it?
