ello, everyone! I attended my first ever Gay Romance Lit Retreat and it was amazing! What GRL is not: A place to make tons of money selling your books A place to pitch publishers A place to learn about the craft of writing through panels, workshops, and discussions So, what Continue reading El on GRL 2017
The Good Doctor Doogie Howser + House + Autism. It’s nice to see more TV shows featuring autistic characters in a normal way, not as victims or villains but as people. While I can’t speak to how true the portrayal of the main character’s autism is, the pilot is full Continue reading El Watches Fall TV Pilots So You Don’t Have To: Good Doctor, The Brave, Ghosted
I was at Anime Next a few weeks ago. The con itself was pretty decent, but I had a memorable interaction with one of the vendors in the Dealer’s Room that stuck with me as an example of how not to do business. I had been going around the various Continue reading How Not to Make Friends and Influence People
My first article for Geeks Out (as Jenna Hale) is up and it’s a review of BishounenCon 2017. Overall, I had a blast and so did the attendees. We were short-staffed, but we made it work and I think we really put on an excellent convention, especially for a first-year Continue reading BishounenCon on Geeks Out
By the time you read this, I will (hopefully) be recovering from my hysterectomy. Yep, you read that right. Hysterectomy. I’m in my early 30’s so I’m not exactly the normal group for this kind of surgery. It wasn’t exactly in my plans when I went to my new gynecologist Continue reading Dead Ends
January and February were fairly low on movies I was interested in, though if you haven’t seen Hidden Figures or Rogue One and they’re still playing near you, get thee to a theater. (Or wait for the DVD.) Both were solid movies. But now, on to the months ahead and Continue reading Movies I’m Looking Forward To: March 2017 Edition
I’ve had marketing on the brain of late as BishounenCon, Yaoi North, and RainbowCon all loom near like the trifecta of gay convention doom. My day job, aside from being a bad-ass code monkey, deals with social media and support chat. That’s part of the fun of working at a start-up. Continue reading Why Customer Service Matters
In an effort to help raise awareness for RainbowCon (July 6-9, Tampa, FL), I’ve been dipping my toe into social media marketing. I’ve already got some experience with it since it’s part of what I do for my day job, but I hadn’t had a chance (until now) to run my own marketing Continue reading Adventures in Advertising
It’s that wonderful time of year again: convention season! (Okay, so technically there are conventions year round, but up here in the Northeast we tend to hibernate when there’s snow on the ground.) This year’s kind of a messy and busy trifecta for me since I have BishounenCon, Yaoi North Continue reading 2017 Convention Schedule
The first two episodes of The CW’s new TV show based on the Archie comics are out and I’m really loving it. I only read a few of the comics as a kid, but I’ve been meaning to read more since the introduction of Kevin Keller, a character that’s seemingly Continue reading TV Shows I Love: Riverdale
