Greetings,

I’m happy you’re here, and I’m happy to be here, too. Joining other like-minded people on a writing journey warms my soul. Five Minutes with Ellen is a place for us to connect and share. The title means I’ll be providing bite-sized posts to be mindful of your time.

The Focus

I came here for something better than social media. In this safe place, everyone is welcome. I’ll post weekly about book reviews, stories, fun activities, my experiences as a fiction writer, writing advice and songwriting. If you’re a storyteller or want to be, you’re in the right place. If you play guitar and want to write songs, I’ll post about that, too. I’m always searching for resources to make writing easier while creating the next story.

The Freebies

If you want links to the best free sites, PDFs with information to make writing easier, free stories, and other giveaways, you found the spot. Why? Because it feels good to give. Giving sparks positive vibes. Why not be positive?

Fun Projects

Stick around for fun projects for you and your family. These pop up around the holidays. Some of these may include self-care activities…think spa at home. I’m a retired physician and understand everyone needs to recharge to stay well.
