I just put an excerpt from my book 17 Stories in my portfolio. Feel free to leave feedback.
I put my western to the side for a bit while I get everything that was on paper for 17 Stories from paper to Google Docs.
I found 21 pages of writing of 17 Stories today, July 31st 2024.

I have so much stuff hidden here... and there... I could use a secretary just to find and catalogue it all. Been re-reading old works and even edited a couple. Hope there are some gems among the stories. *Gemg*
More editing. Don't mind me.:

You said you're looking at research material. May I recommend Ken Burns' series The West (1996)? Incredible and accurate and it has helped me with my own Western writing. That and Roger Norris-Green's works. (FWIW, Johnstone's work annoys me.)
s Author Icon - I looked up both and saw that the books, (on eBay at least) are well priced but there’s only three of them and the shipping costs are ridiculous. You end up paying more for shipping than the book itself. Ill look around some local bookstores and see if they have any of those books.

Liana Author Icon - I believe Ken Burns' series is available on PBS in the USA...
I've added some thoughts on the book as I am away from home right now, plus I can’t find the binder with the writing in it.
I've been working on this book for the better part of 20 years. The premise of the book is in the description. I have to find the binder that the writing is in.
I’m wondering if I should try to put my poetry that I actually wrote on paper here. I just know that I will end up changing things or rewriting the whole poem. I know my work is safe here but I just wonder if rewriting is a normal thing when you move poetry from paper to online. Thoughts?
Rewriting is normal.
I found some poetry on my iPad. Ill be looking in my notebooks for more.

Hello fellow writers. I know its been a while since I've been on the site. I am still working on my book, One Mans Revenge. I am currently reading The Preacher series by William W. Johnstone, which is giving me a lot of inspiration. I'm also watching the DareDevil series on Disney+, for the fourth time. Between the reading and the watching of the series, I have gained much inspiration for my book. This week, I got a wireless keyboard to go with my iPad so I can write between classes. I hope to renew my subscription soon as well as write some more poetry, which is truly my first love. I have 21 pages of text in my book, two of them with face boards to put a face to the character. Also, is there a way to edit, or add to a portfolio item?
Welcome back!
s Author Icon - Thank you very much.
Detective Author Icon - Thanks
I've just edited an item in my portfolio:

I'm not sure how long I'll be around this time. I know I need to write. Last time I came on here, someone paid for my membership and I didn't really use it so, to whoever did that, sorry. I'm just going to use this place to post my writings and see where it goes.
Go check out my short story about my mentor's passing that I just wrote and feel free to give some feedback.
Death has hit my life again and I don't know what to do with it. I haven't been writing but I've been reading a lot. I just don't know what to write about......

So sorry to hear about your loss Liana. When I am saddened by life's waves, I write how I feel. Why don't you have a go?

Maybe: It was a Tuesday morning when I heard the news, the feeling I had was that of how I saw my aunt after she lost her husband of many years. I now knew how she felt, my day stopped at eleven and I sat in the garden stunned.... *Hug*
Gonna read and write a bit today.
Ever find something you wrote and not like it? I was a very angry man and I do not like some of my old poetry.
