First off....it's the 4 year publishing anniversary for my poetry eBook "Spittin' Lyrics N Waxin' Poetic" (Draft2Digital, 2015). Can't believe that it's been fours years since I published that particular book, my first eBook only project. Sales haven't been impressive at all, but I'm proud of publishing it nonetheless.
It's the birth month for both of my parents. Their birthdays (not to mention, their wedding anniversary) are in the same week & month. Feeling a little sad about that, as my mother is no longer here among the living. That's gotta be hard on my pops. Happy birthday, dad!!!
I FINALLY got around to shooting the pilot episode of "The Rough Draft". It is now available on Youtube. You can view it through the link here:

Hope that you enjoy the video!!! I apologize for the poor sound quality, as I didn't realize that I was mumbling when I was talking. I was tired when I'd shot the episode; that's what I get for shooting an episode after work. I should've waited for one of my days off, but I was working multiple days that week, I just wanted to get the shit done. I can hear my communications professors screaming in my ears about the "5 Ps"... (Proper Planning Prevents Poor Productions).
On the Universal Africana Literary Arts Movement front, I've finally compiled the preliminary Schedule of Events (SoE) list, and emailed it out. I still have some November events that should be added, but I need the info to do that, and the outlets haven't posted any updates to their websites. Oh well....I do what I can.
Time Will Reveal (2020) is DONE!!! The cover art is finished, and the book is ready. I just need to figure out when I'm going to actually publish the book next year. I haven't picked a date, yet. If you guys have any suggestions, feel free to let me know when you'd like ot see it come out.
Other than that, I'm just trying to figure out a strategy for the upcoming fall, to finish out the year on a strong note. I wouldn't mind doing some vending, or a few public readings of my latest book. The promotions for my books have been lacking as of late, an unfortunate consequence of a having a day job with an inconsistent schedule. Weekends are out, and my days off aren't always consistent; not to mention, my days off always fall on weekdays. Oh well, I'll figure something out....
That's it for me, right now. Hope to be a little more consistent with my blog posts. if not, I might just do more videos, and post the links for them here.
Keep the fist raised, my peoples.....
