It is going on the final weekend of August. The summer season is coming to an end. Starting next Tuesday, we'll have FOUR months left in the year. I guess for some people, this year can't end fast enough. There has been a lot of tragedy happening. Last time that I check, I believe that the numbers for deaths from COVID-19 is about 178,000. My personal opinion...? A number of those deaths could have been unnecessarily avoided. We've also lost a number of cultural icons to natural causes, or other diseases. It's been a year of loss, and heavy emotional turmoil.
As August comes to a close, my sales have continued to be stagnant. I didn't record any new sales for the month. My sales have basically remained flat for the past THREE months. Not for lack of trying. I send out my email e-blasts, I continue to release the videos of "The Rough Draft" with the info to purchase my books, and continue to post about them on my social media. I'm doing MY part in this....
Speaking of "The Rough Draft"...I posted Episode 17 on YouTube. It celebrates the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of me doing the web series. I've gotten a few positive responses for it on some of my other social media account, but none on YouTube, as of yet. No...I will not be posting the link for it here. It doesn't help me any, even when I do post the link in my blog. Take yo ass onto YouTube, lol, lol, lol, lol!
Still working on my latest literary project. "Knuckle Up" seems to be ready to be published. I'm satisfied with the story, and don't see any additional editing that needs to be done. I'm working on the cover art, now. I produced FOUR different versions of the cover; I'm just trying to decide which one to use. Maybe I should turn it, into some sort of contest...?
Still considering my move to the continent. Still trying to decide between Tanzania, and Gambia. I'm leaning a little more towards Gambia. Hopefully, I can make that transition sometime next year. I still need to get my passport done. I don't care WHO wins that damn election....it's time for me to GO!!!
Working on a new Author Logo. I might start using it. I need to update all of my stuff, anyway. Of course, I finally learned how to make graphic images while using my freeware programs on Windows 10. Felt kinda dumb when I finally figure that out, lol, lol.
That's about it for now. Hope to hit ya up in September. I'm planning on doing something special on "The Rough Draft" to celebrate Latino Heritage Month. I'm going to feature my Latino-themed books for both September & October. Let me know what you guys think!!!
Keep the fist raised!!!
