“Lunch with the Girls” Art and Cover Design by Totsymae Copyright 2012

Hope you folks enjoyed your holiday. Hope you had a happy whatever it is you celebrate. Or if you don’t do that sorta thing, hope all’s good and well with you. I had a fine time myself. Been working on getting my eBook published and man, is it work! It’s all good though. The image above is one of the stories in my book. I have 100 flash pieces in the book but no, I won’t be painting 100 pictures to go inside. No can do.

I was over here deliberating myself, like I often do, and I’ve discovered that I’ve developed an addiction that I’m none too pleased about. Folks, I am addicted to reality TV. Those shows are like Lays Potato Chips, you see. One of two won’t be enough. I think I’m up to five of them now. However, it’s not my fault. It’s this little circle of folks around me that got me into it ’cause I really don’t have addictive characteristics. At least, that’s what I’ve been claiming for years. And I’m not in denial ’cause I won’t tell you I can quit anytime I want on account of me not wanting to just yet. Sometimes you just don’t wanna do shit about such habits and that’s where I am right now. If I told you otherwise, I’d be a liar and since I have a conscience and making strides to live consciously, I won’t be lying and whatnot to you.

So folks, I’m about to consciously scan these networks to see if there’s a reality show marathon on while I paint a coupla more pieces to go in my book. I’ll check on you good folks after the New Year. Be safe and Happy New Year.

Okay. I have this cool title for my book of flash fiction. Right now, it’s gonna be in ebook format only. I’m calling my debut publication Sock It to Me, Baby. I told you that before but?in case you didn’t remember…

I’m?not altogether sold on this cover, so I’ll present another, hopefully, before the week is out.? I find it so hard to satisfy myself. I’m halfway done with the second piece of artwork, so I’ll do my best to have it posted in a coupla days. I feel myself getting ill again. Not like me. The quick turnaround, so maybe it’s a temp kinda thing. Meaning, it’ll be all good tomorrow.

For this book, I even have a concept for my book trailer. I don’t know if folk do that for flash books but oh well, I am. It’s gonna be fun. I hope. If I don’t cower, it should be fun. We’ll see. In the meantime, I’m trying to figure?out this whole e-publish formatting. The cover is right, from what I’ve read so far.

I thought of writing something on the raunchy side but I’m not the raunchy type. Least nobody’s ever told me that….Hmmm…Wonder if that’s a good or bad thing. Maybe good, for a Southern Belle as myself.

sock it to me baby

Portrait Designs by Totsymae

In the next few weeks, I’ll have completed all of the artwork for the self-publication of my first book. I’ll display the cover here and go ahead and let you know I’ve entitled it Sock It to Me, Baby.  It’s pretty much official that I’m running myself a little business now. I’ve been working on that for a few months and I’m in the process of partnering with a partner to do a series of other whatnots. Other than work, this little business of mine and talking smack, that’s pretty much what’s happening on this end.

Today, I’m displaying a collage of portrait design work. Outside of pen and ink, these are all the mediums I use to compose portraits, which I’ve incorporated as part of my little business and have a handful of commissions. When I say mediums, I mean oil, watercolors and the lot. Next year, I look forward to having a series of characters from my own head  hosting this blog, so you’ll hear from other folk on occasion. If you wanna know about some real characters that have been in my life, visit Real Life Folks. I kid you not, I only exaggerated a little.

Well, I’m getting on the hungry side and need to eat something before I get mad. Enjoy the holiday, folks.

I took time to finish my book of flash fiction. I added more stories to a point that I’m satisfied with what I put out there. Now, time for the artwork. This comes at a good time, in a way, cause it’s almost my birthday. I say in a way ’cause it was my intention to have the book published by that time but instead, I’m spending a little time figuring out the e-book process. I shant be long. I’m not as technically challenged as it may seem since my training’s in graphic design. Anyhow, this halfway explains my brief absence, which I didn’t tell you before I left but hey, we’re all grown folk around here, right?

If so, let me introduce my favorite female comedienne. Folks, put your hands together for my girl, Sommore!
