The Choice

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on December 1, 2013. Posted in General. 2 Comments on The Choice

At St. Anna’s Episcopal Church, we are not a church that welcomes African Americans, by which I mean a white church with a hand-full of African American members. We are not a church that welcomes gays—a straight church reaching out to folks regardless of sexual orientation. We aren’t a wealthy church that helps out the poor among us. At...

Luv

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on November 30, 2013. Posted in General. No Comments on Luv

I have just finished the book, “The 5 Love Languages,” and discovered that my happiness with Tom has nothing to do with any intelligence or effort on our part. According to this book, people have different love languages-i.e. how we perceive we are being loved. In addition, we instinctively convey love as we perceive it. Thus,...

The Unloved Elephant

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on November 25, 2013. Posted in General. 4 Comments on The Unloved Elephant

I have 14 videos on YouTube. 14 stories read aloud. Some stories have had more views than others. Inexplicably, the story with the least views is one that was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. It’s a lovely story. Could you show a little love to “Gift of the Elephant”? Give it a listen? I would appreciate it....

Chicken Musings

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on November 25, 2013. Posted in General. 4 Comments on Chicken Musings

“I have written a novel about the commercial abuse of chickens.” Every time this statement comes out of my mouth, I think, that is the strangest thing. Yet, it’s true. Train Trip pivots on a drug scandal made possible by our “modern” methods of chicken raising and processing. The theme has grown in importance as...

The collection is collecting. It will soon be released in toto. This means as a complete collection. Not in Kansas. Remember: You Cain’t Do Nothing with Love

Reading in the Rain

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on November 16, 2013. Posted in General. 1 Comment on Reading in the Rain

I don’t know where you are—based on my blog stats, there’s a good chance you might be in Brazil or New Zealand or Italy or India or Britain—but whatever part of the world you’re in, it might be raining. That steady downpour that makes you hunt a sofa, a blanket, a warm cup of coffee or tea. You need a nap, really, a chance to drop off to...

The Interstitial Moment

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on November 16, 2013. Posted in General. 4 Comments on The Interstitial Moment

I don’t exit well. Astounded, I stared at the blank space on the dining room table. Last time I looked, my train ticket had been lying in that spot. My “this is not a ticket” information sheet, too, just in case I needed it. Ahead of time, I’d dutifully printed both pieces of paper and laid them in their special place. Which was now blank....

Thoughts on Gifting

As much as I have promoted the free access to the stories—on this blog, iTunes, YouTube—one of the more popular vehicles for listening has been the $10 CDs. People listen in their cars; they use the CDs in their cars. So. If you’d like to give a CD for Christmas, let me know. The CD has 4 stories—”Lucky Critters,”...
