Hello to the month of March. We are now in the first third of the year. Time really is flying by, isn't it...?
As we enter into the month of March, you know that I have to shout out my publishing anniversaries of my books published during the month of March. I have three...
Celebrating the eight-year publishing anniversary of my comedic memoir "In My Lifetime: Funny Stories of Life Experiences" (Outskirts Press, 2014). My third book that I wrote & published, it was a change that I wanted to make, as I felt that I was being a little stigmatized as just being "angry" because of my first 2 books. I wanted to show my creative side, and a little bit of my wacky sense of humor.
March also marks the two-year publishing anniversary of my dual release for my Sci fi/Action/Time Traveling novel "Time Will Reveal" (Kindle Direct Publishing, 2020), and my Street Lit/Young Adult novel "Suicide Amy" (Kindle Direct Publishing, 2020). Both book were released to celebrate my ten year anniversary as a author, and were both special project for me to write on their own merits. Suicide Amy represented the very first screenplay that I had written (and liked), and Time Will Reveal was an interesting science fiction idea that I would loved to have produced; a time-travel story focusing on Black people, and coming from a black perspective.
Sales haven't been there for Black History Month. It was a complete flatline on both the eBook and paperback fronts. All I can do, is continue to push & promote, and continue to do outreach. Hopefully, I'll be able to reach someone, and snag that target audience that I intended to reach.
I'm really looking forward to the publication of "Second Chance Points" (KDP, 2022). I was finally able to create a Facebook Event for it, and sent out invites to all of my FB contacts. Not too many people have accepted their invites, but I'm continuing to post content on there. I'll do what I can to continue to promote it.
The day job front is very trying. I don't like my current day job, as it is now not only becoming unfun, bust also biting into my savings. I didn't move out here to be stressed out & unhappy. Thankfully, to the ancestors & Creator, I was able to find me a new day job. I'll get to start this week, sometime, and hopefully have something more stable, and less stressful.
That's all for now. Hoping to produce a new episode of "The Rough Draft". I'm also looking forward to celebrating the Veneral Equinox. Hope to keep you all updated on my literary & life progress.
Keep the fist raised.
