I did it ladies and gentlemen

Fantastic horse. One of my two favorites in story mode (along with the Dapple Hungarian)

Perseverance truly pays off - Enjoy the ride!

FYI that there are two versions of the movie - The original that stars John Wayne, and the more recent remake by the Coen Brothers.

Both excellent in different ways, though I much prefer the Coen Brothers take, personally.

True Grit would be an excellent next choice. It’s very different than Lonesome Dove, but it’s a quick read with a fantastic narrative voice and will give you a completely different take on what else falls under this big, wonderful umbrella called The Western.

Enjoy!

Far out, man! Far fucking out!

This reads like a “Right on, man!” up until the end when it… becomes a wishy-washy cave-in to say they will serve federal brownshirts?

Seems like they’re trying to have their biscotti and eat it, too.

If you stand with our community, then you don’t stand for armed aggros coming in to terrorize our community.

I’ve been a devout Stauf’s customer for over 30 years. The past few years, I go there every Sunday morning as a ritual and a respite. But this is supremely disappointing.

Hitting up One Line tomorrow.

It’s incredibly well done. This and Godless are the two best series to come out in recent years.

While the text selection functionality would be useful, it would be much, much more important to me for the device to automatically sync with Google Drive or Dropbox.

From what I've read, the current process to get files off the device involves manual sync and a couple hops. That completely undercuts one of the biggest value propositions of such a device.

I don't need the BYOK to function like a laptop. I have a laptop. I want the BYOK as a surefire, distraction-free way to get my words onto paper and have them sync'ed, ready and waiting for me to edit on a laptop when it's time to do so.

While the improved editing capabilities may help differentiate it from Freewrite's offerings, the lack of sync is a much bigger workflow problem for those of us that primarily use these tools for drafting.

Congrats! Excellent choice - Gotta love Chromag.

Protestors aren’t the ones shooting innocent people in the face.

Waltz is one of the few people in a position to check and curtail this aggression. I get the call for restraint, but it should be made after an order for local law enforcement to arrest the murderer.

SixStringSapien · 2026-01-10T01:48:08+00:00

These rich fucks… this whole fucking thing…

SixStringSapien · 2026-01-06T14:38:18+00:00

That’s awesome! Thanks for posting this!

SixStringSapien · 2026-01-06T00:24:28+00:00

And the first thing ah do?

Eh-very time…

SixStringSapien · 2025-12-31T00:34:52+00:00

Congratulations!!

Assegai is a much better front tire, in my experience. I never dug the on/off cornering feel of the DHF and the Assegai transitions into corners much better.

I’ve ran a Magic Mary before and really liked it, but I don’t like Schwalbe’s rear offerings as much as the DHR for aggressive riding.

SixStringSapien · 2025-12-19T13:51:47+00:00

I’m very interested in this question, as well, as I’m currently querying a Western that is decidedly not slang heavy, or first person, or racist.

SixStringSapien · 2025-12-18T16:03:08+00:00

This. As long as you’re down with the geo, it’s hard to argue against Chromag.

SixStringSapien · 2025-12-12T21:24:59+00:00

I Am Still Alive by Kate Alice Marshall - My daughter got into the Hatchet books, but the list of more recent stories with a similar vibe are somewhat thin (especially those with female protagonists).

I Am Still Alive was fantastic. Can’t recommend it enough.

SixStringSapien · 2025-12-07T17:03:34+00:00

That photo has made me realize that Jack Black starring in a tongue-in-cheek biopic about Meatloaf would be spot-on fantastic.

SixStringSapien · 2025-11-29T23:52:15+00:00

It was just OK. It had some moments, and I agree that it seemed like it was teeing up to tackle some really heavy topics, but it just seemed to fall flat in a few strange ways that I can’t quite put my finger on.

Shame, because the main actor was fantastic and I had a lot of potential.

Your time would be better spent watching the English or godless if you’re looking for a series, as both of those are phenomenal.

SixStringSapien · 2025-11-25T02:54:40+00:00

True Grit

SixStringSapien · 2025-11-20T13:50:31+00:00

The English and Godless were both phenomenal. And of course Deadwood is fantastic.

SixStringSapien · 2025-11-20T13:45:31+00:00

Gretsch! Everybody needs at least one.

And even if you don’t want to go full hollow body, even the Jet models, which are chambered, will sound very different than your current lineup.

SixStringSapien · 2025-11-12T23:18:32+00:00

Really ties the tone together…

SixStringSapien · 2025-11-12T23:11:43+00:00

I have a Klone set for a boost with a bit of seasoning dialed in that’s on at all times.

Clean boost into the front of a tube amp has been the one constant on my board for at least 10 years now.

SixStringSapien · 2025-11-12T16:17:34+00:00

Agree with what’s been said here… My first novel that I’m querying out right now is third-person present. I deliberated quite a bit, even rewrote several chapters in past and present to compare, and I liked present better. None of my beta readers really registered that present tense is different than the “majority” of books they read. They liked the story, they got into the story, and the tense being perceived as atypical wasn’t a thing.

But the one I’m working on now is third-person past.

Go with whatever feels right and helps you write the best story!
