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, you...

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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTSc2BtbBk8 Remember:...

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...

A Snail Went to Carlos Fuentes Funeral

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on November 5, 2013. Posted in General. No Comments on A Snail Went to Carlos Fuentes Funeral

Sometimes I get so frustrated by the pace of my writing career, I Google the titles of my novels to see if something is going on with them that I don’t know about. This is an insane activity, as the novels haven’t been published. The only place they exist—other than a mention or two in contests I’ve placed in over the years—are...

This is the last week of the rollout. Look back: the first story launched on June 26 (of this year, as my friend from writing group would clarify.) We sustained a hiatus when my daddy died, then resumed with vigor. When the current week is done, we will enter PHASE II. The collection will be made available in full on other host sites. The work...

I can feel it – I’m eating up track, finally in the groove for the story, and the week is over. Finished. Done. Time to move on. A week is a short thing. Stay tuned for a new story. It involves Love. And a man in a squirrel costume. Remember: You Cain’t Do Nothing with Love

Recording Your Fiction: A New Approach

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on October 22, 2013. Posted in General. 3 Comments on Recording Your Fiction: A New Approach

Everyone’s talking about e-book or print, self-publishing or traditional. I want to talk about something different. Following the advice of my favorite fortune cookie ever—try a different way or new approach—today, I’m beginning a conversation about a different approach: audio. That is, recording your work and making it available to listeners...
