I always wanted to be a writer, but never wanted to sit down and write. I have done a million other things with my life and the stories just collected in my head. It's time for them to come out.

Pre BR
When the day of the rodeo arrived, Billie was ready. She had practiced on her farm’s famous bull, Rolling Thunder, and almost stayed on for a full ride. She told her bullfighter not to blow the whistle until 10 seconds had elapsed. She figured that if she practiced a 10 second ride, then an 8 second ride would feel like a piece of cake. Her best time on Thunder was 6 seconds, but riding him increased her performance times on all the other bulls. Unfortunately, riding him lowered her potential point level because all she could do was focus on staying on. She was not comfortable on him and it showed.

Lessons
Here they come, the stuck up girls from the wealthy neighborhood down the road. They took riding lessons from Roy, but they cared more about showing off for him than they did about horses, or learning to ride, or actually winning any of the classes they entered at the county fair horse show. They were so annoying. They'd laugh, loudly, and tease Billie May, even though she was older than they were. Billie was a better rider, too, but they didn’t care how good she was on horseback. They thought she was some kind of freak because she didn’t spend any time on her appearance or talking to boys.
