Greeting my followers & true fans!! Welcome to the month of April!! The first quarter of the year is now in the books. Time really is flying by, isn't it? Feels like it was just yesterday that we were celebrating New Years Day... 😲😲😲😲😮😮😮😮
A little bit of housekeeping. In the month of April, we have the eight-year publishing anniversary of my short story anthology "Drum Speaking: Tales From An Inner City Griot" (CreateSpace, 2016). I thoroughly enjoyed writing that particular book, and feel that it is woefully underrated, as far as my literary works are concerned. Then, again...I feel that all of my literary works are underrated...
Also...April is also known as National Poetry Month. Shout out to all of my poets out there!! May you all lyrically represent in this month meant for your creative expression! To all of my Spoken Word artists out there, and fellow scribes/sesh, happy month-long holiday. 😊😊😊😊
The Read An Ebook Week/Women's History Month sale for March was a total bust. Only TWO books were downloaded for the entire month. I shared the hell outta that sale on social media, and all niggas could do was press a mf 'like' button. That's a complete slap in the face!! One numb-nut download the book off of the wrong platform (Kindle), paying the regular price for it ($1.99). So, basically...you could've downloaded the book at any time for purchase, but chose not to. Really, people....? 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Yep...this is DEFINITELY going to be the subject matter for my next episode of The Rough Draft....
This is really pissing me off. The digital version of my books have been on sale for the past TWO months, and my sales have been abysmal. So, exactly htf are you my fan & supporter, and y'all can't purchase shit?!?! But, y'all quick to spend your money with some major multinational corporation, or on some bitch ass celebrity, smdh. Niggas can press the mf 'like' button fifty million times when you share the mf link, but won't come out of pocket to support your career, smgdmfh... 😡😡😡😡
...And then y'all have the mf nerve to be critical, when us indie artists complain about your bitch asses not supporting us, like we the mf problem...
"...You need to learn how to market your books better!". Market these salty ass nuts, bitch!! ...After a three month heatwave, AND I ain't bathed!! 😡😡😡😡😡
Oh, well....
Catch you in the next post. Hopefully, my mood will be much better.
Keep the fist raised!! Uhuru sasa, y paz!!
