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...

Talking Creativity/Creatively Talking

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on September 6, 2018. Posted in General, Writing. No Comments on Talking Creativity/Creatively Talking

Early on in my writing career when my mom read something I’d written, and she didn’t know quite what to make of it, she would graciously say, “You are sooooooo creative.” Well, now it’s official. I’ve been included in Sandie O’Neill’s conversation on creative women. You can read the interview on...

Facebook, I don’t like your tone. You’ve taken to sending me messages declaring, “The (insert current number here) people who like Ellen Morris Prewitt: My Very Southern Voice haven’t heard from you in a while. Write a post.” Note the arrogance. Not “Perhaps it’s time to write a post” or “Are...

Given Where I Started From

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on August 8, 2018. Posted in General, Writing. 5 Comments on Given Where I Started From

Kind folks keep congratulating me on the release of my novel TRACKING HAPPINESS: A SOUTHERN CHICKEN ADVENTURE and inside myself I think, I self-published it—where is the congratulations in that? I did successfully get an agent for the novel (a long time ago), but he wasn’t able to sell that half-baked version. Later I had another agent...

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,...

Happy Heat

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on July 30, 2018. Posted in General, Writing. 2 Comments on Happy Heat

It’s July. In Memphis. Ask most folks and they will tell you that Memphis is in Tennessee. It’s not. In the geography that counts—the geography of the heart, body and soul—Memphis is in the Delta. The rest of Tennessee may dilute the summer with the shade of mountain trees or rocky-faced roadways or blue-hazed vistas. In Memphis, in the...

What Makes a Good Book?

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on July 29, 2018. Posted in General, GRIEF, LOVE, Writing. 2 Comments on What Makes a Good Book?

A good book should remind you of another book you really loved. Ellen’s incredible imagination, keen wit, perceptive knowing, and spoofy style is reminiscent of John Kennedy Tooles’ “The Confederacy of Dunces,” as she captures the delightful craziness of small-town Mississippi life. Amazon review It should have values you share. gritty...
