The World Premier of THICK 4

What's woody wood, grasshoppers?

I'm 98 percent done with completing THICK 3 aka the novel commonly known as In The Thick of Things slated for a late-July release

That's why I haven't been blogging as much...writing a book is a bitch...even if the shit it's wack, it's still taxing on the mind and time...

...I'm gonna get back on my bullshit when I finish with THICK 3

And without furher ado, feast your eyes on the book cover for THICK 4 aka Thick and Thin

The Green Book



Peace

How to Make a Book Cover for Dummies

What’s woody, grasshoppers?

Play the video above to get your groove on while you read the breakdown of Thick 3
 
This week I unveiled the book cover for In the Thick of Things aka Thick 3…the story itself is only 5 percent done…I’m taking my time with the story because I want THIS one to be special….
 
…kinda like how you continue to sleep and hoe around until you find the RIGHT person to settle down with
 
Anyway…I purposely posted the book cover a year before the novel’s release date to motivate me to finish the project
 
The visual helps out the king with the content of the story…besides the provocative nature of the book covers in the Thick series (half nakedness DOES help), they give me an idea of how I should approach the story…the better the book cover looks to the public, the better I write the story to MATCH the intense beauty of the visual before you pick up a copy
 
And for the record, I’m NOT the illustrator of the book covers…the artwork is done by Joshua Calloway, straight from the mean "skreets" of cornfields and cheese factories of Wisconsin USA, baby
 
Check out his work @ www.jacart.org
 
I hand picked Joshua to work on the book covers of Thick 2 and 3…I fell out with the illustrator of Thick 1…I was an asshole to Zach, but shit, I play hardball when it comes to projects that need to be done
 
I can be VERY anal about how I want the book covers to be executed...real rap
 
Shout out to Zachary Schoenbaum…check out his work @ www.umbralust.com
 
I emailed Joshua about a one-week book cover project for Thick 3…he agreed, and worked from the material I’d given him…I specifically told him I wanted yellow to dominate the illustration, just like how red dominated Thick 1 and orange dominated Thick 2
 
Thick 3 is also known as the "yellow book"
 
Joshua went to work with the first draft of the cover…the watershed style is used right 'chea on some Leonardo da Vinci type shit…I switched things up so the book covers won’t look the same from the other Thick novels as well as other books in today’s market
 
A week after our initial emails, Joshua hit me off with…

I wasn’t feeling it…the drawing wasn’t wack…it was just…
 
…eh!
 
The illustration didn’t make my dick hard…I told money (Joshua) to make her face smaller, sharpen the nose, make the lips fuller, fix the index finger, and put some red in the illustration to contrast with the yellow
 
Money headed back to the drawing board with this…

We were right on track, baby!

The wrinkles from the brush strokes of the painting didn’t sit too well with the king…they made shorty look old in the face...like "Jesus is my homeboy" old...I told money to smooth out the lines in the painting and add the background I gave him
 
He hit me off with…

Nice…nice…niiiiiiiiiice
 
Actually, Joshua had sent me two versions of the book cover: one with a sun, and one without…I wanted the sun to have an “Oh shit!” facial expression as he’s lookin’ at shorty…Joshua thought that shit was weird…I didn’t give a fuck, I wanted that joint in the painting
 
I told him to make the size of the sun smaller, add a red strand in the middle of shorty’s hair, and add the book title in the painting for this…

The cover was dope, but I wasn’t wholeheartedly satisfied…I didn’t bust a nut from the illustration
 
I suggested that money make the woman a little bit smaller, make “In The” that rides the T in THICK look much bigger, and put his own swag to the finished product since we had an extra day until the deadline
 
I hate using the word “swag,” but I’ll let it ride for once this time
 
He cooked up the final project in the kitchen and hooked me up with what you now see

I wish I knew how to draw as great as I can write…that'll save me some dough...LOL...straight up...drawing cartoons were my first passion as a shorty standing knee high…I couldn’t draw a lick, so I wrote episodes instead
 
Every cover of my books are conceived by me…I hire artists to carry out the images I possess in my mind…I’m the conductor in the orchestra of art
 
Simple as that
 
There’s actually more to the creative process of this illustration than I’m giving away…the process is tedious; it takes longer than expected…but hey, it’s worth it
 
I treat book covers like album covers…even if you think the story suck, at least you can’t front on the cover…I want people to buy the book based on the cover ALONE
 
And also for the cover to become timeless while the clock runs laps around this small, cold world like it’s on crack

Aight, ya’ll…I’m out

The Favorite Part of Writing

What’s woody, family?
 
I have a love/hate relationship with writing…sometimes I’m amped up to write, while other times I don’t want anything to do with it…I get bored easily
 
That’s the main reason why it takes me 9 months to finish a novel
 
Back in the day, it took authors years to finish a book. But now, people are bangin’ out books like babies…a month or less. That’s not my style…you can’t rush perfection
 
The best part of writing a book to me is the middle parts…I just got comfortable writing the beginning and ending. Sometimes I wanna skip to different from parts of the book…that’s a pain in the ass because then I gotta figure out the proper timeline of the story

I just got comfortable with writing female characters. The majority of fiction readers are women. Writing female characters is important because of THAT fact. At first I avoided writing a female as the main character like the plague…that wasn't my thing...but the more I do it, the more I love it
 
It got to the point where I don’t wanna write male characters anymore. The challenge of writing outside my comfort zone is too intriguing
 
One question I hate that muthafuckas ask me is, “How do I write a book?”
 
Um, you put the pen to the pad or your fingers on the keyboard…DUH!

I mean, shit…if you don’t know how to write a book, your ass don’t have any bidness to write one…it’s bad enough that the book game is filled with mofos that can’t write themselves out of a wet toilet tissue

If you know how to read, then writing a book will come easy…notice that I used the word HOW…sometimes people just look at things without thinking outside the box
 
When I read books, I STUDY the writing style, the flow of the book, how the characters are used, literary devices like symbolism and flashbacks, etc…I’m not only a writer, I’m also a student of the game…the more you read and write, the more you'll become a better writer...at least in theory...ha ha!
 
I also love watching movies in closed caption to follow the movie as if I’m reading a story…or even mute the movie to study the body language of people for my stories and in real life to get a better read on people
 
Aight, ya’ll…enuff of that…I’m out
 
Peace

Facebook Spammers

 

  

It’s been a hot minute since I blessed ya’ll with a post

I’ve been traveling…shaking hands and kissing babies #NoPedo
 
...which leads us to Facebook Spammers

Aaaaaaah yes…those pesky self promoters who want you to buy everything they have to offer

I rarely post about my books on Facebook or anywhere else on cyber space except for when I’m:

 
A) Throwing an event

Or

B) Appearing as a guest on a radio show

 
Most of my Facebook friends already have my books or know I write for a living…posting links about my books is a waste of time…I’ll rather use that energy to talk about other things to create a demand for what I'm cooking up

There’s nothing like the good ol fashion way of marketing and promoting like hitting the streets…making a personal connection with readers is priceless…you’ll starve to death relying on the internet to eat…not saying you won’t make money, but don’t count your chickens before they hatch by putting all your eggs in one basket

I ignore shameless self promoters like dudes begging me for change when they’re rocking fresh Jordans…get the fuck outta my face with that shit, son!

To keep it funky with you, people are more likely to buy your product when OTHER PEOPLE talk about it…word of mouth works when the next man or woman big you up…NOT when you big yourself up

That’s why It’s important to tell your supporters to post, or at least talk about what you’re offering to the public to bring you more fans…the more people who “LIKE” the links, pictures or statuses they post about what you’re doing, the more people (who’s not on your friends list) will see your work

I got book sales that way…let other people do the dirty work for you…it sure beats annoying the hell outta people by dickriding your own shit

Aight, ya’ll…I’m out
