Thrilling Unveiling of My New Website

Because it’s 3:30 am and I’m a tired monkey, this will be the briefest blog post I’ll ever write. Think of it as blog minimalism. Yeah, I’m artsy like that.

Anyway, I just renewed my web domain and revamped my website. I have zero web design skills, but I can click and drag. The result? An extremely basic, but still kind of cool, website. Like this blog post, it’s artsy minimalist.

If you’re free, I urge you to go take a gander. Have fun exploring!

    I don't think everyone needs to have a complicated or fancy website. As long as it lists the important info and is easy to navigate, I'm completely fine with simple websites. That said, yours looks great! And I like the fact that you showcased your wit on your "About" page. Great job, Elle! -Fredric @ Local Marketing Guru

    I agree with Fredric! A good, effective website doesn't necessarily have to be graphics-heavy or flashy. As long as it's up to date, easy on the eyes and easy to navigate, then you'll keep your visitors.

    Really liked you website. I'm an author myself and am currently in the process of revamping my website. I think the tough part about websites for authors is creating a functional website that does not take away from the content of work itself. Your blog gave me a lot to think about, thanks!!!

Some Literary Politics... of Hair

Image
Celebrate divers-- Oh, wait. Our crowning glory is all tied all up in knots with issues of power, privilege, history, and tradition. You think I exaggerate? Ask a Pentecostal woman why she doesn’t cut her hair, an Orthodox Jewish man why he wears his peyot, a Black woman about the politics of straightening, a woman media star how long   she’s sported hair extensions . You think it’s a coincidence that   18% of Americans have blond hair   and 2 % of the world’s population sports blond hair   and yet you can't shake a rice cake in Hollywood without touching a towhead?* "My feisty redhead does feminism right." Even books, an arguably more cerebral popular cultural medium, aren't immune. Novels may not contribute directly to visual culture, but they do verbally represent and reproduce it. I mean, for not even being visual media, most books get all (representationally) dressed up in a host of visual tropes . In my genre, paranormal romance, for exa...

An Open Message to the Bullies

Image
The fatosphere lit up like a dynamite-encrusted birthday cake last week when a CBS anchor, Jennifer Livingston, addressed on air a man who wrote her a letter chastising her for setting a bad example for viewers. Her transgression? Being too fat. Her on-air response was intimate, eloquent, and powerful. She spoke of the pain his message had caused her and urged other victims of bullying to honor their own strength and worth. Shortly thereafter, Ragen Chastain, of Dances with Fat acclaim, started the Better than the Bullies Campaign , which includes videos and letters from victims of weight bullying to their victimizers. As she writes on the site, “ We are standing up, we are fighting back, we are better than the bullies . ” Like most fat kids, I was bullied during my school years. Because I support Ragen, because this is National Anti-Bullying Month, and because I kinda like me and feel somewhat eager to share the good feelings, I made my own video. My eternal thanks to Kris...
