Weekend Writing Warriors #9!

Hiiiiiiiii! Welcome! The sun is shining (well, it was when I typed this), I won't talk about the birds (because they're demonic and also descendants of velociraptors), and I'm feeeelin' good! Today I'm going to share something new with you, besides my crippling fear of winged creatures. I, for the first time in my life, wrote a cowboy story. *nods* It's called Chasing Destiny, and I kinda like it. Basically, it's about a woman named Lucy Avondale who's stuck in the corporate world, living a life that's painfully lacking in adventure. Her girlfriends buy her horseback riding lessons for her birthday, and she winds up shocking them all by accepting them. To set you up for the scene below, Lucy's disobedient horse, Chester, got spooked and took her wayyyy off the beaten trail. But, to the quadruped's credit, he brought her to a ranch where a certain cowboy lives, and she's, like, totally okay with that....

Leaning against the outer wall of the barn was a man. Her brain didn’t feel the need to register anything beyond that, but her eyes raked him over from toe to head. He wore boots to mid-calf, dark blue jeans that molded perfectly to his thighs, and a plaid shirt with the cuffs rolled up exposing tanned forearms. And the hat. It was a dead giveaway. Here was a guy who seemed to meet the general description of a cowboy, and she was a girl, all alone with this cowboy, except for her annoying horse. Okay, he was slightly less annoying now. She was even prepared to forgive him for the whole trying to kill her thing since it brought her nice and close to Mr. Cowboy Man here.

Hope you enjoyed! Make sure you visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors! Happy Sunday, my friends! :)
