Tales of Greenlea County - Discussion of All Stories (UPDATE)

As well as the 'back to the beginning story' 'What I Did On my Day Off' told from Ellery's first person point of view.
This is my absolute favorite!! I've re-read that more than anything. I'm not sure why but I really fell in love with it! (it must be the Ellery POV, I guess.) It's sweet but very funny too. **runs off to forage under the bed for dog-eared copy**
;)

Leslie and I reworked that story down to a manageable 5,000 words (the original I believe was 13,000 or so) so that we could submit it to magazines. So far haven't gotten that published yet!

Well-too bad for the publishing world-but I'm just glad I have my trusty copy of the original 13,000 words!! **hides it back under the bed where it will be safe**

Oh me too! I'm so glad I have the original stories printed and safe in my nightstand. (where they gather less dust than under the bed! :laugh:)

Actually, the original was close to 20,000 words and we worked it down to 10,000 -- a 50% cut.
