The History of the Nightlight

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on January 11, 2014. Posted in General. No Comments on The History of the Nightlight

At the river house where it is so dark I scrambled off the end of the four-poster three-foot high bed and there I hovered like a cartoon character, full-on in the throes of a night terror, before falling splat! onto my face where I almost but not quite broke my nose. After that, we bought a nightlight. The Mighty Nightlight

God on the Blog

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on January 11, 2014. Posted in General. No Comments on God on the Blog

A blog on God that gives me words to help me feel my way through life, like a woman blinded by the dark, touching the walls, groping her way down the long corridor, and feeling, every so often, a brick that helps her move forward. That’s what I find at A Pastor’s Thoughts by Irvin Boudreaux. Like the other blogs I’ll be mentioning...

Almost every morning an email arrives containing a fresh story of less than 300 words. The stories are written by Dieter Rogiers who lives in Brussels.

When all the energy seems to suck out of you like someone’s pulled the plug and down the drain your energy goes. I’m wondering aloud if I might get repleted. Or whether the...

Many years ago, I read excerpts from Write Your Heart Out on the local NPR affiliate. In response, the book’s author, my friend and mentor Rebecca McClanahan, said, “Thank you for sharing my words.” Ever since, I’ve had a very specific goal with my writing: getting my words shared. Random photo of me about to go out on...

How do you choose to get your work out there? This question—ebook or print?—is raging on LinkedIn. Sprinkled in but treated as an annoying buzzing mosquito of a distraction—quit bringing this up!— are a handful of posts about audio. I am the buzzing mosquito.
