An index to my current fictional work on Steemit.
Home To Texas: Recollections of a Texas Badman
The story of a Texas man that runs off to be a Rebel, and never really comes home again. Violence and sex are the main themes here, and the character is a mean sonofabitch that doesn't consider himself as mean so much as he justs wants to be “let be”
Part One, in which Wallace Stevens returns home from the Civil War, then joins the Texas Rangers.
Part Two, wherein our desperado steals a Comanche princess and deserts the Rangers.
Part Three, in which Wallace attempts to return home again yet to put himself into more trouble.
Part Four describes the shootist's adventures as a hired gun in Mexico.
Part Five, wherein Wallace reminisces over his favorite weapons.
Part Six returns the gunman to New Orleans, where he joins a buffalo hunting crew.
Part Seven in which Wallace reflects on killing and the War.
Part Eight relates the tale of buffalo hunting and the last of the buffalo Indians.
Part Nine, wherein Wallace reflects upon his life with the fairer sex
Part Ten brings misfortune to our unreconstructed rebel.
Part Eleven, in which Wallace is quartered in Austin far longer than he'd like.

I hoe em, you grow em
This is a series of story beginnings. I like writing that “opening scene”, but I'm not always invested in finishing the story. So I will leave these to anyone who wishes to take them and finish them.

Common Themes
It is very easy to see some clear patterns in my writing. The heroes are professional killers who apply their own justice to the world. Their love interests are women of various backgrounds but always with dark hair and dark eyes, and who usually are women of ability on their own. These men and women are not immoral, but their morality is different than the norm. Most often, the lead expresses some degree of contempt for the larger society, but still serves it
The stories will always involve violence, and usually sex. Morality and duty are almost points of discussion between the characters. The good guy wins, but he busts his ass doing it. The heroes make mistakes and are often eaten up by those mistakes.
Every last one of these heroes believes THIS implicitly:
It is better to be judged by twelve than carried by six
Indexing Your Work [Post publication Edit]
@franks said that he would index his own work - I should have made that suggestion a part of this blog. Due to Steemit's nature, your readers may lose a chapter or two in your story line. In order to make it easier on your readers, you might want to consider indexes or link-chains. Cheetah may yell ;>, but these devices can help you readers move from chapter to chapter easily. I wouldn't suggest and index of everythingthat you write if you cover a lot of subjects, but a post indexing your fiction in one blog, and then another covering your criminal justice thoughts in another may just be the ticket. It might also help YOU keep track of what your doing.
Hi! I am a content-detection robot. I found similar content by the same author:

Give us a break Cheetah;D~ You sound like a dog chasing its own tale.
LOL
Haha nice one
This looks like something I might try. Just make and Index of my Steemit stories. It is a bit nuts that after , is it 24hrs nobody can add any value to your story;D(
But as I have stated elsewhere. I am happy if somebody takes the time to have a read. And if I am lucky I will get a comment.
As for Texas bad men I am sold;D~
That's a good idea, I'm going to add it to the main post. We should occasionally put of indexes to our work!
And I've started maintaining link-chains in my stories, as they do tend to disappear off the grid after that initial period.
