The thing is, I think that while Jubal is prone to running away in the past, he trusts Lucas. It would seem Reid is adjusting to something, given what Lucas said on the trip back from town, but can he? I guess we will see. Maybe he is just being protective of his friend. Cheers!

Oh, okay. It's beautiful.

I looked this up and saw it was a pretty orchid, but what does it mean?

Hello, friends! And no, spikey, don't say ... and dugh and Mum...

Nickster! Nickalodeon! Still crazy I see.

Congratulations, brother!!!

I love when a plan comes together. Lucas and Jubal work hard, and they are a great example of what it took to survive and prosper in the Old West. I don't think Jubal has ever been happier... except for when he was with Vincent. He deserves to feel that way. Cheers, Albert!

Horses!!! Yeah, Jubal has been through a lot from the sounds of it. It's great to see him excited about catching a whole herd. I think he's a man who needs to be doing something... keeping busy might make it easier for him to forget his past troubles. Thanks, buddy.

Wonder what will be in Budapest. Robert, perhaps? Another great chapter, Albert. Curiouser and curiouser. Cheers and thanks. G.

Hi, Albert.

Hello, ding dongs... and dugh and Mum.

It sure sounds like Jubal has had a complicated life so far. I think we all can root for him. He's a good man, and Lucas knows that. Maybe he's just being a good friend, but he sure seems to want Jubal to stick close. Thanks, buddy.

I love that movie!

Thanks, Albert! This happens to be one of my favorite chapters. I love building, so Jubal is a man after my own heart. I can picture that little cabin in the moonlight, and it really is perfect. Cheers!

I got Cookie for that.

Hey, all! Snowing again.

Snowing again.

Hey, Page. She's great. Doesn't like the deep snow, though.

I reread this chapter last evening, and it was the perfect thing before sleep. Thanks, Albert. Each chapter is a stepping stone in the story, just like building a house, and this one is part of the foundation. Jubal means a lot to me as a character, and I appreciate you care for him too. Cheers!

Hello, all!

Hello, all!

I heard you the first time, Albert. Happy Saturday to you, my friend. One of my kids is coming for a visit this afternoon.

He's a ding dong.

Now let's not get ahead of ourselves, buddy. We don't know if Cupid has any reason to let loose his arrow. What romance? Your words are really kind and appreciated, Albert. Tantalizing is such a great word. I love it when readers are eager, and I am enjoying this reread too. Cheers!

It's really a matter of preference and what you are comfortable with. I write in both(though third person limited is my preferred), and I started out writing omniscient(multiple points of view-often called head hopping), which can be done well, but I've come to think of it as cheating or even lazy. Just my opinion, but you can do the same thing with a single POV, it just requires a little more thought. I sometimes switch POVs within a story(usually only one chapter if I think it's needed), but it would hold for the entire chapter. Third person limited is certainly not colder... remember it still is told from one POV, but there is an observer element to it which can give you more freedom. I find first has more restrictions than third when it comes to storytelling, but first can have a greater impact for some stories I want to tell. We all must tell our stories in our own way. Cheers and good luck in your writing! G
