The Day the Magic Girls Left Town

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on November 12, 2018. Posted in General, LOVE. 2 Comments on The Day the Magic Girls Left Town

It was a sad day when the Magic girls left town. The three—a brunette, blonde, and redhead—brightened every party, enlivened every boring Sunday afternoon, skipped every brunch, and danced on every unoccupied table. They were fun girls, the Magics. Each born within twelve months of the other—brunette first, blonde second, redhead bringing up...

Sex and Public Therapy at a Book Signing

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on November 9, 2018. Posted in GRIEF, LOVE, Writing. 4 Comments on Sex and Public Therapy at a Book Signing

So, men and women showed up to my book signing with chickens on their heads. They sat in the audience while we conducted the heart of the signing, a “True or Fiction” poll. I read excerpts from TRACKING HAPPINESS: A SOUTHERN CHICKEN ADVENTURE and the listening audience voted: Fact or Fiction. If the excerpt was actually true, my DJ...

Dog Musings, Updated

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on October 19, 2018. Posted in LOVE. 6 Comments on Dog Musings, Updated

I fed the plants with fish food today, and my hands smell like fish gunk. I turned my back for one second, and the dog who won’t eat her expensive food was lapping up the gunk. I read on the internet she wouldn’t die. I wrote a novel and gave the hero my dereliction of housekeeping duties (my sister once said, “Marcee keeps...

Jesus was an Ally

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on October 7, 2018. Posted in GOD, LOVE. 10 Comments on Jesus was an Ally

I’m sitting in church this morning, and I’m getting madder and madder. How much longer am I going to have to listen to that secondary, pitiful account of creation (“poor ol’ Adam—wah, wah, wah—all by his lonesome needed a helper”) and ignore the primary story of creation: “Then God said, “Let us make...

Ellen’s Very Southern Voice: Novels Told Write

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on September 27, 2018. Posted in General, GRIEF, LOVE, Writing. No Comments on Ellen’s Very Southern Voice: Novels Told Write

I alternate between super excited and terrified. That’s because it’s both hilarious and super embarrassing, this new podcast I’m about to release. I mean, a print or e-book is one thing. The reader is safely tucked away in the privacy of their own home, curled in an overstuffed chair, giggling as they read. Logo for the new Podcast With...

Baby Groot, et al.

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on September 9, 2018. Posted in General, LOVE. No Comments on Baby Groot, et al.

As I was talking to my grandsons about my crush on Baby Groot (and sharing a video to prove how cute he was), it occurred to me that this is not an aberration. The boys will remember that I love the bug band (officially known as the Fiesta Trio) in Dora the Explorer (“Gogi! Come quick, it’s the band!) and correctly conclude that I...

All the Way From Canada!

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on August 7, 2018. Posted in General, GRIEF, LOVE, Writing. 2 Comments on All the Way From Canada!

Please enjoy this kicking review of Tracking Happiness: A Southern Chicken Adventure found on Susanne Fletcher’s Wuthering Bites blog. I am thrilled Susanne compared the comic dialogue to P.G. Woodhouse, whose Jeeves collection I long ago fell in love with and read in its entirety (how one gets so lucky as to be compared to a beloved writer,...

Uncultured Smells

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on August 5, 2018. Posted in General, LOVE. 5 Comments on Uncultured Smells

MEMPHIS AS BABYLON Traveling North Parkway with the windows open, I drive through a scent, and my head jerks in memory: a cracked sidewalk with weeds springing tall; a blossoming hedge that smelled so sweet. That’s all I remember, but it’s enough to keep me searching for the bushes all spring. Along roadways, on vacant lots, in other untended...
