Back again, my peoples. Two months are left in the year. Time really has flown by, hasn't it...?
Welcome to the month of November. In the month of November, we have the thirteen-year publishing anniversary of my second book, "Raise Your Brown Black Fist 2: MORE Political Shouts of an Angry Afro Latino" (Outskirts Press, 2011). I'm very proud of this particular book, and wish that it got more support and recognition (as I feel with ALL my books).
November 2nd commemorated the 1930 coronation of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia. It is also the Black nationalist holiday Black Solidarity Day in the United States. Not too many people celebrate either occasion, but I always try to incorporate our culture into my everyday lifestyle. Celebrating our holidays and historical cultural milestones is very important...especially passing that on to our youth to continue the traditions...
The national election was held, recently. The idiot that won in 2016 got voted back into office. That confirms it...the people of this country are truly fucking stupid. Unfortunately, I am unable to execute my escape plan. My money ain't right, and I still haven't gotten my passport done. That's partially on me. At the same time, I haven't really been stable, financially or otherwise, in a few years. At the same time...my revolutionary ass needs to get myself ready for what may come. I need to get my ass back into fighting shape, and invest in a machete (and...learn some stick fighting on top of that...)...
Haven't been able to upload an episode of "The Rough Draft" to YouTube in a hot minute. Something is wrong with my laptop, whereas I am unable to use my webcam (among other things). I've thought about investing in a handycam camcorder, and using that to shoot some episodes, as well as investing in another laptop, and using that exclusively to shoot and edit content for my YouTube Channel. If my money was a little better, I probably would do that. Of course...option number three is to stop making episodes. Nobody seems to be watching my videos, anyway. Why bother to continue...? 😢😢😢😢😢😢
I've decided to not do anymore online eBook sales through Smashwords for the remainder of the year. People haven't support ANY of the sales that I've done this year, no matter how much online promotion I do. It's just not worth it. It doesn't cost me any money to do, per se; it's just the fact that the sales never get supported, and I never make any profits from it. So, what's the point in continuing to do the sales...? Apparently people can't seem to afford my eBooks at half price...which is basically ONE FUCKING DOLLAR!!! 😐😐😐😐😡😡😡😡😡
Oh well, I'll decide if I'm going to continue any eBook sales next year. This one is a wrap.
See you in December!! I'll let you know more about my literary progress next month. If you celebrate the holiday, Happy Thanksgiving!! Uhuru sasa, y paz!!!
Keep the fist raised!!!
