What I Like to Write, What I Don't Like

Westerns

I love watching Western on television and sometimes movies. Especially the old movies. But I'm not a big fan of reading them. That's my big brother. He doesn't read them as much as he used to, but he does still read them once in a while.

Could I write a Western. Of course, I could. I'm a writer. I just haven't done it yet. Maybe it will be one of my Novel goals this year. My brother said he was going to write a movie Western about twenty or so years ago. But he never got around to it. I think he did write a page or two about it before he gave up on it.

A few months, maybe a lot longer than that, I was going to do some Anniversary Reviews on Westerns. But there aren't too many Western writers out there anymore. And I only found one or two, if that many, for the month I was reviewing. So, I decided not to do them.

What I like most about Westerns is their gun fights. With Action/Adventures or Science Fiction there is so much gunfire. Don't get me wrong, I love that too. But with Western you only had some many bullets and sometimes you couldn't get any more. So, you had to make every shot count. They also had a lot more physical fights too.

In Westerns everyone had a gun. At least the adult males did. So did the boys. But usually the females didn't. And girls even less than that. That's what I don't like about Westerns. How they treated there females. Maybe I will write a Novel after all. If I do it, will be about someone like The Barkleys in The Big Valley. Only mine would be about early teens and preteens and an Action/Adventure.
