And you never know WHO it's going to happen to. I always think of Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind--even though that was NOT a western, what a "moment" when he decides he has a conscience after all and is going to join the Confederacy, even if it's at the 11th hour. I've thought so long and hard about that moment, and how it changed everything for him and for Scarlett, too, and was so unexpected. So many examples of this, and you're right--it's so ingrained in our westerns, I believe that's why they've endured through the generations and still have an audience today!Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-66561661407235697562020-03-20T10:33:06.386-05:002020-03-20T10:33:06.386-05:00Doris, I'm anxious to get to the point where I...Doris, I'm anxious to get to the point where I can sit down and write it. It's going to take Will on another journey he hasn't dreamed of, until he learned who and what is grandfather really was. Of course he's going to have to wait a "few" years to set out on that journey, but not too long, because there is an evil relative just waiting to steal his inheritance and he won't stop at anything to take it. I know the basic (very basic) plot of the story, but just have not had the time to flesh it out and write it. Thanks for stopping by!

I'm going to stop it", knowing full-well it may cost them their life.
