Admiration

[Lusty_Goat]

I must confess. I admire all of you who are plugging away and writing the Westerns. Hat's off to you. Keep the themes alive—Life vs. Death and high stakes writing.

Thanks, LG, and welcome to AW! :welcome:

Do you write in this genre, too?

[Lusty_Goat]

I dont. But I'm proud of McCarthy's writings. He's a great addition to the shelves of American Literature. I have been reading The Crossing. I cant wait to move on to Blood Meridian. I think the only way I could ever write a Western is if I immersed myself in that culture and history. Yet I dont have the time or money for that.

For now I'm just trying to write good and credible stories.

Thanks and welcome!

Writing Westerns is one of those things I just can't let go of. I've actually tried a couple of times, and didn't start out writing them, but they just keep coming back.
