September Updates So Far....

What's good, peoples?  How you feeling, mi gente?

So far...I FINALLY attended a Latino festival out here.  It was a 3-day event, but I only ended up attending one day.  It was rainy for most of that weekend, so I ended up missing the last 2 days, where they had musical performances, and a parade.  The one day that I attended wasn't too bad.  and no, I'm NOT going to try to compare their festival to anything in NYC.  I'm hoping to return next year, hopefully as a vendor this time to sell some of my book titles.  I'll let you know, next year...

The day job situation is up in the air.  All of a sudden, these people are now being uncommunicative.  All a brother wants is some answers.  I was supposed to have started last week Wednesday, but never got the call for what time I was supposed to come in, like they told me they would. I'm just chalking it up as a loss, and still continuing to job hunt.  Fuck it, I can't afford to sit still.  I've got debts to pay, and other shit that I wanna do that takes funds....

GREAT news from my eBook publisher!!!  They've made a deal with WalMart to distribute eBooks listed on the Kobo platform.  And...since ALL of my books are listed on Kobo, ALL of my eBooks are now available at WalMart!!!  YAAAAAAY!!!!  Now, nuccas have NO excuse as to why they can't support my work.  The shit is available at WalMart, now.  I hope that this helps to increase my sales.  The Creator knows that I could use an economic boost....

Been feeling a little down, as of late.  Been having some personal stuff happen.  Someone who I consider a dear friend is going through some tough times right now, and I feel quite powerless to help.  Since I'm not in that great a situation myself, there is not much that I can do to help.  It's another reason why this job thing is working my nerves; I'm not where I want to be financially, where as I could help out this friend, not to mention, finally get myself to where I want to be.  I'm sick of renting a room; I want my own flipping place!  I hate when I feel blocked, and stuck....stagnation is a killer.  I not moving forward, nor back.  Hopefully, I can shake this feeling, and improve my situation soon...

Well, that's about it for now.  Been doing the whole e-blast, email promotion for Latino Heritage Month.  Will be continuing to do it through the end of October.  After that, I have no idea.  I'm still planning on publishing my Black Fist sequel "F.U.R.I. of the People", but I just haven't set a date yet.  I'm also considering another conversion project of one of my other screenplays, but who knows.  My head's not really in the game right now....

Anywhoo....later peoples!  Uhuru sase, y paz!
