Was: Laramie Tales: New Working Title: Tales of Greenlea County (ARCHIVE)

[MaineWriter]

Louise asked me to go searching in the archives, and I managed to find the original essay by Ellery, with comments by Wes, in red pencil. I will share them with you here in hopes that it might make the revised essay turn up.

Ellery,

Good start. You have a few run on sentences and such, but I am not the grammar police. You can correct those on your own.

Glad you discovered Helga's bakery. You are correct, her muffins and pastries would be a welcome addition to the staff room. Maybe we can persuade Joe to switch. I'll mention it to him. I also might be able to persuade Edna to bake for us on Fridays. I know how fond you are of her biscuits.

But, to the heart of the matter. If you spent the week watching TV and eating Dampfnüdels (in between the conduct unbecoming, but I don't want to get into that!) then you must have had some time to think. And what you thought about is what I am interested in hearing. So, this is good start but revisions are needed. Have this back to me in three days.

Oh, Wes is being very nice...

And throwing Edna in the mix!      That Brownie!

Yep, in his own way, Wes can be a caution, too!     He is being nice, isn't he?  I wonder if Edna ever did bake Friday biscuits for the staff room.  I loved . . .but I don't want to get into that!)  - kind of the precursor to the "I didn't need to know that Ellery" that always makes me laugh! 

And, yes, we are all very interested in hearing the thoughts running around in Ellery's fascinating mind! 

Thanks for searching the archives, L!

Hey Souxi,

Long time no see! I get the same message too. Maybe she's updating the file or something.

I have a question: Is there a page containing links to all the New Laramie Tales all in one place?

[louisev]

I have locked my LJ at this time.  Sorry for the inconvenience!  I had promised back in December that I was going to be reworking the stories into an original story, and they will be made available in whole-book form on my own website as the works are completed and submitted for copyright.  There will be no BBM character names or situations in the edited story when it is done: the plot remains the same.

Since I am hopelessly buried in work at work, I am interested in those who might be interested in editing the manuscripts of the 6 books according to a set of guidelines I have laid out for it.

The new Tales will have the originalized content - but you may be relieved to know that none of the original characters will be changed in any detail - simply the proprietary content.  I.e. Dupree and Licky Nicky won't require any editing!

[brokebackjack]

Glad to hear it!

I'm so busy working onb my own things these days that I haven't posted here in something like 2 months but that doesn't mean I don't read it! Except for City of Slaves, I'm reading so much i haven't gotten to it yet.

By the way, your Confessions of Alexandros is waaay good Louise.

So I am curious--if there won't be any BBM characters in this---who will Ennis turn into??
