Time Musings

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on June 29, 2026. Posted in Featured, General. No Comments on Time Musings

I’m such a slouch blogger. I let time drift by and say nothing. Ideas flit into my brain, but no typing on the keyboard, and the ideas flit right back out. Plus, there’s the cloud floating t the back of my brain, whispering, You need to write about the book. Tell them what people are saying. Let them know readers are REALLY enjoying...

In the “Movies”

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on June 24, 2026. Posted in Featured, General, When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women. 11 Comments on In the “Movies”

I expect I’ve mentioned here how hard it is for me to see photos of myself. Traditionally, it’s been even harder for me to watch film of myself. “Movies,” as they say, rather than still photographs. Recently, I appeared on the Earle Farrell 4Memphis Show. My husband was there during the interview. He said I did a good...

The Magic of the Book Launch

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on April 6, 2026. Posted in Featured, General, When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women. 10 Comments on The Magic of the Book Launch

It wasn’t an accident, the magic of the book launch. I thought long and hard about what would feel like a success to me. After I did a guest reading at a coffeehouse in December in Ocean Springs, I knew I wanted it at a coffeehouse. Also, I wanted other authors joining me—at that reading, we had about eight writers reading. The...

The Book

Mile markers exist in the book publishing business. Marketing manuals contain these lists so authors won’t miss them. You’ll also see them in the wild. I’ve sold my book! My cover reveal! The books have arrived–watch me open the box! There’s a reason for these milestones. They make chronological and narrative...

Writing a New Orleans Story

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on March 14, 2026. Posted in General. 2 Comments on Writing a New Orleans Story

When people ask, “Where are you from?” I answer, “Mississippi.” After all, my pregnant mother traveled from Denver to Jackson to give birth to me ’cause she wanted me to be from Mississippi. I have now lived in New Orleans for 14 years; nine years part-time, six years as a resident. Even so, I will never feel...

The Rules I Broke

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on March 8, 2026. Posted in Featured, When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women, Writing. 14 Comments on The Rules I Broke

I’m a rule follower. Maybe a better characterization is that I believe experts when they tell me there’s “a way” to do a thing. When I was beginning my writing career, the “way” was to get short stories published in fine literary journals. At the same time, you worked on a novel. The theory was an agent would...

Vonnegut

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on February 18, 2026. Posted in Featured, General, When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women, Writing. 8 Comments on Vonnegut

When I was in high school, I favored a small library located in a strip center. The library shelves began as soon as you walked in the door. From my weird spatial perspective, the library arranged the books backwards—the cataloguing began at the front desk, placing the fiction authors whose names were at the end of the alphabet closest to the...

The Joy of What If

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on January 11, 2026. Posted in Featured, General, When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women, Writing. 2 Comments on The Joy of What If

I had two inspiration points for When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women. (Of course, I did–it always has to be complicated with me.) Both involved “What If.” This concept is when we set our imagination on “Go” and take off. At least it is for me. The joy of What If has inspired tons of novels, often in the...

Keeping the Murderous Grannies Straight

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on June 3, 2025. Posted in Featured, When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women, Writing. 6 Comments on Keeping the Murderous Grannies Straight

I’m deep in revision, y’all. My editor at Literary Wanderlust completed her developmental edits on When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women and sent me her comments. They were not a big deal, two main ones and an adjustment to a scene at the end. The one I’m most interested in involves keeping the murderous grannies...
