The importance of editing

The importance of editing. After recently finishing up my third project is when I actually realized how important it is to have someone else edit your work. No matter how great we might think of ourselves as the perfect editor, there are just some things that won't be able to catch while editing your own work. It is said that few readers purchase a book without first reading a few pages. A killer cover along with the catchy title will grab their attention, but flawless error free writing will seal the deal. There is nothing more distracting then a manuscript that's full of errors. It is also been proven that you can be the best writer ever but if your book is full of misspelled words and bad punctuation, along with bad grammar readers will doubt your abilities to carry the story through. Professional editing is often more deeper than simply proofreading. Getting your work edited guarantees that your book is clear and flows really well. Many times before I honestly could not measure the importance of good editing, but speaking from past experience, I have undoubtably ran across brutally honest reviews that suggested that I need help. It's Perfectly Normal in my opinion not to be able to be your own eyes. There have been times when I have edited things myself and could have swore up and down that I had caught every last error, But later reviewer the document only to find few errors here and there. After investing a great deal of time, plenty of emotion, and possibly a shitload of money why release your work to the world with errors that could have easily been avoided with the help of a great editor. What I have learnt to this present day is to look at editing as an investment into your writing career. Here are three things that good editing may compliment in your manuscript: your character build up, your writing style, and the overall flow of your book. So to wrap up this area on editing there is generally about 5 different categories or types of editing. First you have line editing and proofreading, which is basically is going line by line and editing it for grammar errors as you go. No type of intensive rewriting is involved usually the reduction of redundancy of words, which are things that we tend to say over and over again expressing the same point. The second style of editing is color editing, this option is typically used when you as the Author need to rearrange some words the better more consistently while still retaining the basic structure of the script. This option is not really too much rewriting but instead just some words to add more clarity to your work. The next Style editing would be content editing. This form of editing does indeed include major rewriting, some deleting, and some rearrangements overall tone of characters and Plots. Next style of editing would be show not tell editing which the main purpose is to transport the reader right into the scene making him or her feel as if they were really there. Then last but not least you have developmental editing which will add a lot of info as well as take a lot out. In this style of editing it is the editors job to reach into the soul of your work and finesse your manuscript into something great. Here is where you will add new traits to characters, and begin to get very detailed. Developmental editing pretty much includes all the Styles I have mentioned above and is the most extensive and costly Form of editing. These are strictly my points of view on editing, but I understand it is up to you at your own total discretion whether you want your manuscript edited or not by another person.

Formatting

Okay so listen up, this is the most important component. Without proper formatting it is most likely that the printing company will deny your manuscript. I'm about to teach you what the real true definition of independent publishing is. Like I told you before, sometimes experience is the best teacher. I must have paid over $1,000 the first time I ever published a book for someone to do for me the same thing I'm about to teach you now. Once you have Completed your manuscript in Microsoft Word there are going to be a few things that you will need to change. Keeping in mind the notes that I'm about to share with you are for formatting a book that is 6 X 9. This particular format can go anywhere for distribution, it costs less to produce, and can fit more things on a page. Okay, so the first thing you want to do is open up your manuscript in Microsoft Word and navigate the page layout tab. The page layout tab will give you all the options to make all of your changes in one place. Once you're found the page layout tab you will click the paper tab. The paper tab is the place actually pick the size of your book which is 6 X 9. Once you've chosen the six by nine settings you will look right below and select to apply to entire document then hit ok. At this point you want to navigate back use the page setup and this time you'll click on margins. You'll see in the middle of the pop-up box there's a section that says pages, what you want to do is click to the right of that and select mirror margins. As a quick side note I must emphasize how important it is to set this up correctly to avoid any printing errors, because like I said before, if things aren't done in this exact way that I'm showing you, it is guaranteed that your manuscript will be denied. Now pay attention, while still in the margins tab, at the top where you can change the measurements for your margins, you will need to enter these numbers. You should see six boxes: top, inside, gutter, bottom, and outside. For the top you are going to want to change to {.4}. For the inside which is right below the top you will want to change this one to {.25}. The gutter on the outside will also be {.5}. Last but not least, you will change the bottom to {.3}. Once you've applied these changes you will want to make sure the portrait option instead of landscape, then click apply to whole document. That's pretty much it as far as the formatting is concerned, there is a few more things that you will need to add, like Page numbers, or maybe even a header. I'm assuming at this point just merely reading these instructions is not enough, so I am also going to give you the address to some tutorials that have helped me out while going through the publishing process. If you're anything like me sometimes you just need to see it to learn it. If you go to YouTube and type in: "CreateSpace setting page size and margins" you'll find a list of videos, navigate to the one that was made by killer book Marketing. This guy is on the money he can give you a visual of the secrets I've just shared with you. Believe it or not without this formula you will not be able to send your manuscript to the Press successfully to get printed without any printing errors. So after you've made these changes, there are a few things that you will need to double check before your done. One thing is, your title page, you want to make sure that it's nice and centered. Another thing is, you want to go through your whole document and make sure that every new chapter starts at the top of a new page. This is very important. Practice makes perfect. Even though I'm now working on my 5th and sixth book, I still find myself having to go back over my manuscript dozens of times to ensure that it has the look that I'm looking for. Once again important part process, is that you remember these numbers, and make the appropriate changes, so you do not encounter any problems during the printing process. Watch the tutorials online how to set the proper trim sizes and margins so your manuscript does not get rejected. This is what puts the I in independent, because a lot of people get discouraged or confused during this process and need the help of someone else to do this for them, which is basically the same thing that the Publishing Company would be charging you for. But like I said before, it's something that you can totally learn how to do it yourself. Once your document is to your liking, you are going to have to resave it as PDF file and upload it to Createspace. Which by the way CreateSpace is the great publishing platform that a lot of independent authors as well as myself use to publish our literature. I'm sure a lot of people will also have plenty of questions after reading this so please feel free to send me an email: Williamware2008@gmail.com and I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. Daba daba daba That's all folks.

Creating a killer cover

How many times have you ever heard never judge a book by its cover well the reality of it is is that the majority of readers do actually use the cover of a book as the deciding factor in whether or not they should buy your book. Keep in mind that there are millions of books to choose from which means your first and foremost sales pitch must be a killer cover. The cover is not on the billboard for your book but in a sense it's also the first page of your story because it starts there at that very moment which will set the mood sparking the reader's interest of what your book is really about. You ever heard the phrase curiosity killed the cat? Well this is pretty much the same deal. You want to spark the reader's interest and make them curious as to what type of story that your cover is trying to tell. This is important it engages the reader on a deeper level it sets the stage for whether or not they think that will actually like your book in the first place. A killer cover also create preconceptions in a reader's mind about what the characters or the settings look like. From my experience if you're writing about romance erotica you have a surviving Peter's love to be enticed by sex because sex sells obviously. Being that sex sells, exhibiting this with good artwork has a highly good chance of sparking the Curiosity that I had just spoke about. A well-designed cover is the first Insurance to the reader that the book is of high quality and that you actually took your time to project a visual of relevance to what your story is actually about. Therefore great covers need to draw the reader's attention engage them on an emotional level and complement your style of work to showcase the quality of your overall book. Believe it or not selling books has become competitive and having a book cover could be the ultimate decision and a consumer picking your book over another or vice versa. Most writers I know take seriously the need to package and Market their books with a professional look because every Rider knows that is the first thing the reader sees. It's the main reason a Reader picks up the book to decide if they're going to actually read it or not. In my opinion I feel that is a reader views your book cover as to be amateur, they will also assume that the novel as well as the Author reciprocates that same value. Awesome through my own experience a good working relationship between the author and designer can produce some super spectacular and extraordinary results. It is a Proven fact that our brains are programmed to process images faster than words. If a Killer cover has the power to spark a readers curiosity, then obviously a poorly created cover can be a major turnoff. Basic common sense ask a question that " if the writer didn't care enough to take the time an effort to make a killer cover how much time did they actually put into the book itself?" great question right?? Sure it is.

Branding

The next component I want to talk about is good branding. Okay so beyond a memorable logo, good branding is actually people's perception of you as well as a look at your customer service. We all probably know a company that offers excellent products or services but has been tarnished due to poor customer service. A good brand will improve your recognition. Think of how we instantly recognize the golden arches for McDonald's, are the jump man on the side of your new Air Jordans. A professional logo design is simple enough to be memorable but what would work even greater would be leaving a branded name in the Universe!! Figure out what your brand is, Put in the hard work to get it noticed, and watch the stars align. A brand is just another word for appearance. Believe it or not but a professional appearance builds credibility and Trust. You ever heard the saying you only get out what you put in? Well it's the exact same way with Branding, the more devoted you are to building up your brand the better the financial return you will receive from your efforts. The first step in brand building is defining your brand. When defining your brand you should come up with a checklist of everything that your brand stands for. Out of that list choose the most inspiring thing. Brand values are important your values should in one way or another show that you are contributing environmentally, socially and economicly To the well-being of your consumers. Think of your brand what it is that's different that can attract attention and stand out from the competitors. To differentiate your brand you have to create a unique advantage in the mind of consumers. Learn how to use good branding strategies to position your brand in the way that it will help consumers seek and appreciate the greater value of your brand over competing ones in the market. Can't say this one enough creative and authentic is a big part of building up your brand. Learn to develop a brand that has a personality. It plays a big part in what people know, think, and say about you. The reality is, if you learn to execute your brand building strategies consistently then you will easily establish a success that will forever be associated with your brand name. It is important to give your brand and identity, let your consumers embrace the personality of your brand in its entirety. Look at your brand as something that a consumer wants to identify with as they would with their favorite shoes, cars, etc. Using a business card as a branding tool is a good way to let your consumers know you mean business. Making postcards with your book cover on it Flyers, brochures, coffee mugs, pens, posters, and especially a banner are also good ways to Market your brand. These are the things that will be good to have event that you have a book signing or something like that. This is Branding at its finest because, even after you're long gone, you have left your consumers with something to Remember You by. A lot of these things you can order from Vistaprint. Banners and posters you can get made at a local Walmart for a very reasonable price. Remember that posters usually measure out at 21 x 24.

Timelining your project

Okay so the next thing I want to talk about is time lining your project. It is very important to look at a glance in full of where you really want to go with your project. When you think about what you want to write keep in mind that in order to complete your story you will need a timeline organized events. Thinking about your timeline you typically won't include key occurrences that you want to take place during your story. A linear timeline shows the picture of the vents as they occurred in a certain period of time. So after you've gotten everything that you want to take place in a story now you are ready to leave them out in chronological order to create a timeline. Mark the starting point and what happened in the beginning as well as marking the other important points and what happened. Writing a story I typically think about 10 things at least that I would like to occur during the course of my story. Keep in mind that you won't be able to include every little thing single thing that happened but can choose what's most important or interesting to you. One important strategy to remember is that you can always step back from your timeline and ask yourself a few questions. For example, what does the sequence of events suggest to the story, or how did the earlier events affect the later ones. A lot of times when writing using your timeline is a lifesaver. When online and your story, just focus on making it from the beginning to the end you can always come back and clean up what's in between. When I write books I'll shoot for around 200 to 250 pages because that's a decent enough size to get the Story told. As a word from the wise your first chapters has to be your best chapter or at least one of them. Remember that when people pick up your book they look at the cover they look at the first few pages and then make a decision right then and there if they want to continue. Remember that the best books always keep the reader thinking about how I'm going to solve the mystery or what's a good book going to happen next in the book. A good books greatest component is going to be its twists and turns keeping the reader guessing about the next sequence of events to happen. Too many aspiring authors used the first chapter for throat clearing, when it clearly can't work that way. Chapter one has to be the big open. When writing once you have a structure in mind, the rest is a piece of cake. In each book i write, I know that the chapter will be around 10 written pages. By glancing at the page count I know how far into the story I should be at any given time. If I'm near the end but haven't made my point then I always can go back and edit. If I'm near the beginning and I've said all that I have to say then I must determine if I'm doing the story Justice or whether maybe I defined my chapter too scarce and have written myself into a corner. No matter what, the structureof the story keeps it strong.

Independent Grind

Every good book is revolved around some sort of passion. Once you have found out what you're passionate about you're on your way to write a bestseller. Me I like to write about drama this is also my favorite genre subject to read. I've also learned that the most popular subject of books are the ones that can actually help someone which falls in the category of self-help. That is why I chose to write this book. I have a passion for writing and wanted to show up-and-coming authors what it takes to get published. I thought talking about passion will be a great way to start off this book because the best books include great content and you can't have great content without passion. When I looked up the definition for passion I found that it means a strong and barely controllable emotion. Passion is a strong feeling of enthusiasm or excitement for something it is a strong feeling that can result in your literary productivity. So with that being said I think that it will be a great idea for whatever you're writing about to have a passion for so you can go deeply in depth about. In this book I will uncover and explain to you what being independent actually means. No matter you be an independent Author, publisher or whatever. My advice to you is to be your own Publishing Company. One of my biggest Lessons Learned was of avoiding having to pay for things that I could totally do myself. Let's think about it for a second, what are the services that a publisher actually has to offer. When I looked up the definition for publisher I found be a person or business that produces and distributes something such as a book or a magazine electric form which is something that you can totally do it yourself and I'm going to show you how. But we'll get to that in a second. Before we get started let me just tell you a little bit about myself . I have no bachelor's or master's degree in writing I'm just a writer with the passion inside of a jail cell. I was born and raised here in the Oakland Bay Area I love to read urban books from the first time I got my hands on the Donald goines story. I possess a natural gift of Storytelling that I have come to discover within me over the years. My storytelling although it was mostly based on a real true life instances can occurrences but also a little fiction. My writing is uniquely different than the rest of your average everyday Arthur's because most of the things that are right about experienced for myself or through someone around me and some kind of way. The other 50% is pure entertainment and storytelling at its finest Peter to figure out which is which. What I want to achieve to my writing is to encourage others to develop and search within their inner self to find their Niche and storytelling and learn how to use their creativity but tell the story as well My ultimate purpose is the trandset My craft in hopes thats others understand that if I did it, then they can do it too. Writing books is big ultimately I would like to be acknowledged as one of the best pub well as Publishers to ever come out of the Bay Area. I would love to see my books when they adapted into screenplay and make it to the big screen. What would life be like without dreams? Although my exposure as an urban Author like a freshman in the game, I have already published three books all available on Amazon as well as 2500 other major retailers including Barnes & Noble as well as the Kindle. 1.Independent Grind Okay so first let's talk about the independent grind. The independent grind will mean that you will need to manage all creation yourself. Starting your own Publishing Company has never been easy but you can do it. Is going to require a lot of time but keep in mind that all the time you take in creating and producing designing will all pay off in the end as you feel a sense of accomplishment looking at you're finished product. You will need to learn about book sizes paper types and binding which is other words called trim sizes. YouTube has cool tutorials on how to publish literature using a platform called CreateSpace. This is the best platform that Amazon could have ever made for an average Joe like yourself and I. Stay focused now because that is where this passion is going to kick in. you might lose yourself in moments where you cannot think of anything to say, learn how to use these roadblocks to your advantage. I once was asked how are my books going to change the world. It was from that moment on that I decided I would start incorporating helpful and educating people places or things as well as times and events into my literature. What does grinding mean to you. One of the biggest things about your grind that you will learn is importance of networking. This literary Journey is all about what you can produce as well as what you can consume. In other words it's about give and take. What game are you willing to give away? Also what corners of the game can you learn to accelerate your productivity? Sometimes sit back and watch while you take notes on other ways to do things. There's a lot to learn but you have to be open-minded and remain teachable as well as authentic and creative. Of course you will have to learn social media grind. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and any other platforms that you can lure In an audience. One of the biggest downsides of being independent, is that you have your self. I have yet to figure out the best practices and strategies for marketing which is this moment is my biggest roadblock standing in between me and millions. In the meantime, I will continue to produce with hopes that at least one of my projects bananas which will cause an interest in the rest. If you buy one then you gotta buy them all right. That's just The law of averages. One of the biggest attributes of your independent grind will be shaking hands and making friends. If I waited for my sales to magically increase online then I'd be waiting a lifetime. Believe it or not, actual sales are the result of properly representing your product in a way that attracts the customer. If I showed my product to ten people, I may not actually make a sale until I have proven to those 10 people that the product I have is desired by others. That's an old marketing Trick. Believe it or not you have a 90% better chance on selling your product when your potential customer knows that it is a product that someone else has also bought and enjoyed. Makes sense right?, of course it does. The number one reason why it is important to stay independent is because 80% of publishers will tell you that you have a great book and offer to publish it for you but in return thousands of dollars for services that are actually very little in value. They may tell you that your book is sure to sell many copies while insistenting that you pay for a print run of thousands and then expect you to take these books and sell them yourself. Many of these publishers will take your publishing rights to your book I'm very very rarely offer any help with marketing or sales without compensation. As a freshman Author in the Game, I had to learn the hard way. My first book I ever wrote actually was published through a major company which expected me to spend thousands for services they offered to provide for me. Who has $5,000 to pay for a book signing? I don't. In fact, the whole purpose in creating a product make money, not spend it. I get it sometimes you have to spend a little money to make some, but using basic common sense, I could never allow myself to put out more then I was bringing in. In the end, all a Publishing Company did for me was allow me to research what it was they had to offer and highlight those things as a list of things that I needed to learn how to do myself. This is strictly just my point of view about how to go about your independent grind. What works for me not work for you just like what works for you may not work for me. But what is the most important component with anything is taking a chance, so give yourself a shot. Don't expect anybody to believe in you, if you don't believe in yourself. That is why I call it an independent grind because it is an intimate grind. One that you find within yourself.

"Aint no Love in this Town" (Sneak Peak2)

"Aint No Love In This Town" By King William (Sneak Peek)

"This is Faith Fancher reporting live from East Oakland.”

“I’m at the scene of a brutal homicide that was said to have taken place just hours ago.”

“Police say they believe that it may have been a robbery.” “

it all started tonight when the neighbors next to this house here behind me made a 911 call to an emergency operator to report an explosion. Upon arrival, Oakland Police Officers found believe to be the body  un-identified as 26 yr. old Lola Stevenson in the trunk of this Mercedes Benz that had been set on fire right here in the driveway of her home.”

“The police have no clues at this time, and Crime Stoppers is offering a 50,000 reward for anybody with any information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved.”

“This is Faith Fancher reporting live from Oakland" the reporter said as they ran the first story of the night. they all sat in the living room in total amazement not believing it at all. 

Nesto had felt that someone had just taken something close to him and he didn't know how to feel. he was sick, and angry, and confused and just wanted to make someone pay. Surely as soon as Nesto found out who that someone was they would have a high price to pay. He just sat there not being able to control the emotions that came over him. Raisun and FiNesse tried to comfort him but it just wasn't working.

"That just don't make no sense at all" Raisun said as Jamaica and Shawna sat there puzzled.

"Yall know her?" Shawna asked.

"Yea girl that’s who we just came back from Miami with" Raisun said as she started to fill her sisters in on what was going on.

"I need to take a ride" Nesto said as he grabbed his coat and left. he needed to go and see for himself if this was all real. 

He did about a hundred in the third lane trying to get to the 98th ave exit. when he pulled up in front of Lollipops, he seen the tow truck taking the Benz away all burnt up to a crisp

"Fuck!!" he screamed as a tear drop rolled down his face

"I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye" he thought to himself, whoever did this had to be watching her and knew exactly when she was coming back.

Aint No Love In This Town: Bay Area (Sneak Peak)

Ain't No Love In This Town: Bay Area (Sneak Peak)

By

Author King William

Lollipop reached in her purse as they pulled up to a stop light. she passed Nesto a hand full of payroll checks with different business names on them. 

“Are all the routing numbers and shit legit?” Nesto asked as he scanned through them.

“Shit …. Too legit to quit!” she said smiling and pretending to do the MC Hammer dance in her seat. they entered the Interstate 580 freeway then cut through the Warren freeway   all the way around by walnut creek under the Caldecott Tunnel. when Nesto scanned the checks, none of the checks were more or less than 900 dollars. Lollipop said they was about to “Ride around getting it” all day. The checks would work without having to be verified. They made their rounds to every bank they could find that was on the way to walnut creek. When she entered the first bank, it was made clear just how easy it was.

“Wait here” Lollipop said as she went in to see how long the line was. She returned back to the car two minutes later and said that she would be back in 15 minutes. Nesto watched the clock on the stereo in the car. it was 12:45 when she went in and 12:59 when she came out.

“Like butta baby” she said as nine crispy hundred dollar bills fell from her hands and dropped into Nesto’s lap.

“That easy huh?”  Nesto asked with an impressed smile. 

“That easy baby!” lollipop shot back smiling happy that she could be of some assistance to a real nigga. They did the same routine for about 4 and a half hours. Nesto called Moco to check on Fineesse. They told him that they were just bout wrapping it up soon. The conversation didn’t last long, more like a check in. By the time lollipop and Nesto got to their last bank Nesto was scared as hell holding all that fast money. He knew right then and there that any small slips would have the feds all up in the mix.

“Today was cool tho!” Nesto thought in his mind as he looked down at the money.  Everything went as planned on their end. By the time they got back to lollipops house they had 18 stacks (18 thousand dollars) that they made in less than eight hours. Shit, when you were getting money like this who the fuck wanted to work right? Thirty minutes later they heard Moco’s 745 pulling up inside the gate. Nesto and lollipop was tickled by all the giggling they did, like they had known each other for years. you know they say time flies when your having fun. making money was always fun for Nesto.

“Honey I’m home” Moco said as she came in the house joking. Finess had ‘two fans!” talking about fanning hella money. After he was done demonstrating how his day turned out it was time to count the scratch. Nesto could feel the slob dripping from his lips like a hungry pitt bull needing to be fed. They headed into the dining room and everybody pulled up a chair. Boy did they have fun counting that money. Nesse kept reinacting that part from The movie Belly...

“Count da money!”

“Count dat fuckin money!” 

Lollipop had those fancy money machines so it made running through a lot of money, much faster. When the last dollar hit the table, they had racked up a good 36 stacks. Nesto went to work in his head trying to figure out the math. That was 9 stacks a piece. Nesto had seen stacks here and there but never that much at one time.  It didn’t stop there either. After a few more runs with Lollipop and Moco, by the end of the week they had 180 stacks but by the end of the month they had accumulated a little bit more than 720 thousand cold cash. shit it had been thirty days today that Finnesse and Nesto had been released from Santa Rita, so it was time to sit it down and figure out their next move. They had the dough now, so the only question at hand was what the hell were they going to do with it?

Decypher the hidden treasures in my Literature- Seek and ye shall find!!

Stalker

I had went through great lengths obtain information about my next two people of interest. A few hacked computers, tapped telephone lines, and a couple of visits to some friends i had, that worked for public utilities. I began to think that my obsessive thinking began to display other psychological as well as personality problems. I would agreee with myself that at times, i may suffer from erotomania, paranoia, schizophrenia, and perhaps a little dilusional thinking. I also would agree with myself that my personality is rather rigid and the hatred was real. Lets be real, most of the time i  could identify as a loner. Normal individuals would be extremely embarassed to be caught following other people, going through their trash looking for information about them, but me, i didnt give a shit nor planned on getting caught.
I've been watching him for the last few days, and had their whole routine down packed.
I watched him as he came out of the house everyday same time, Sweatpants, sweatshirt, and running shoes headed up towards Edward Vincent Jr. park. The park was huge, there used to be a river of some sort that ran right down the middle. I watched him everyday for the last few days as he jogged behind the pool area, stopped and read the historical statue/plaque that stood there. the way he jogged the park, i could believe that he has been coming here for decades. After he stopped at the statue, he sprinted throught the playground, climbed a bunch of stairs, and took another breather when he got to the pirate look out tower. He made me a beliver that this was the perfect place to come jog, ride a bike, rollerblade, run etc. The park used to have three baseball fields, but now there were only two because the soccer field replaced the original field at the top of the park. I watched him from a distance as i admired the big picnic area, tennis and basketball courts with lots of grass. I wish i had the wind to jog along, but i would catch up with him on his last lap. I watched him and how his fluidssecreted trhough his sweat glands, and out from the pores of his skin. With every lap he ran, i looked in his face and could see the feeling of tiredness, which in my eyes became his weakness. I was like a boxer, wearing down my victim, letting them dance around the ring as they became more and more exhausted. By the time he had made it to his last lap, i made sure that i stood in place. He cruised by the exercise equipment, and came jogging through the tunnel. I swung open my straight razor, and slung it across his throat. I watched him as he drowned in his own blood before he passed out and would be denied the proper amount of oxygenated blood to his brain.
After i   left my bloody linen in the tunnel with his breathless body on the   ground, i made my way to one of few phone booths that the city had left and dialed the number to a cab company and sent for a yellow cab. When the dispatch answered my call, i asked specifically for cab number 1203, which was a driver named muhammed who took care of the local routes.With things changing with the times, cab drivers were lucky to even get calls after the new epidemic of uber and lyft drivers who could pick up and drop off passengers just as they did. It had become competitive market, which made it hard for cab drivers to make a living.
"Your Location please" the dispatcher asked.  I gave them a pickup location that was several blocks away to be safe. I needed to get the furthest away from Edward Vincent Jr. park as possible. It would be soon before someone was bound to come through the tunnel.
When i made to my pickup location, i waited patiently for the cab. I watched my surrounding s and kept my hood draped down over my face.
I watched as the cab pulled up, and smelled another easy kill. This shit was like taking candy from a baby. As he got closer i signaled for him to stop. Once i was inside, he pulled away from the curb. I had thought of a million places to blow this mans head off, yet didn't none  seem more logical than taking him to the cemetery. As i glanced nosily around inside i noticed a piece of paper hanging over the top of his sun visor next to his rearview mirror, It was a letter for Jury Duty. I smiled and thought to myself
"Goteeeeeemmm!!!"

Synopsis

Taking a look inside of untamed minds sometimes finds a sick pleasure of fun inside the devils playground. so many times, we never know exactly how  close we are indeed connected by  emotions which makes us Guilty By Association. 

"I raised the gun up and shot through the door. a chunk of the door flew across the room as I continued to fire aggressively. she had never see my face, but he did, but before he could recall from where...... it was too late. I had killed them bearfaced. as I stepped out of the closet, smoke still blazin from the barrel of the gun, I stood over the woman's worthless body and spit in her face. I looked back at him and thought of him as a waste of good dick. I was proud, I thought of myself as a god as I governed the commandments. I stared in a look of disgust as I looked at a man some people thought highly of. without his loyalty he was merely a peasant to me. I knew if I had held the capacity to murder this woman in cold blood, that I could do it again to anyone. she was not excluded from my purge, she had it coming like the rest of them. it would just be something I would have to deal with, but would have no regrets for. To some, loyalty might have been a tad bit over rated, but for me, and my world, it determined your fate."

" They say the Good die young ".
Message to the black man. When they used to say we gone be extinct in a minute, it just flew over my head but now it has become a Reality.
If the Police ain't killing us, We killing each other, and if we ain't killing each other, just know that Society has something in place to do it, it's called Population Control.
Biggest game of chess going................
It's sad but true, that a person never actually knows how many lives you touched, until your dead.
Fucked up, it gotta be that way.
" Its Ok baby" Lisa said, trying to comfort Bobby Ray as the limo they were riding in cruised down Florence. The silence in the limo was equivalent to that of when you hear nothing else but the hands on the clock making a tic and a toc. Bobby Ray turned to look at Chill and caught him peering out the window, with a blank stare.
" You don't need this" Lisa said looking down at the bulge in his pants.
" You never know" Bobby Ray said as he stared her back in her eyes with a very serious mug.
" Shit fucked up!" Chill said to himself as he still could not believe that his friend was no longer with them. So many memories cried out for attention as they both reminisced on their childhood up to that point.
Most people plan weddings, or maybe even graduations, but it was always a difficult time to plan a funeral.
When they pulled up to the Abundant Life Christian Church at 3500 S. Normandie Ave. the Limos lined up back to back in front of the church.
Chill and Bobby Ray wore slim fit textured wool tuxedo jackets with elegant satin peal lapels. The jackets had lightly padded shoulders and a darted front, the jackets were finished with satin trimmed flap pockets, side vents and covered pockets.
As ghetto as it may sound, they wore these right along with their chucks. A mural of Swoop had been air-brushed to the back of their jackets with the words " Gone too Soon".
As Chill, Bobby Ray and Lisa stepped onto the curb, they caught the view of a soul train line of Low-Riders. The Eight-Trays were coming to show their respects to the lil homie.
Bobby Ray seen the disgust in Swoops mother's face hidden underneath her black veil as the Eight-Trays hit the corner.
Lisa wore her camouflage print jacket with leather trim. Her style was classy but yet still sassy. The classic design camouflage jacket had a concealed zip and press stud closure and multiple oversized pockets. On her feet she wore some suede ankle boots with top stitch detail and almond toe with pull tabs at the side with a 5.5cm,2.2 inch heel. She was legit.
The family got slipped through the side door as the services were ready to start.
Chill and Bobby Ray stayed back, as they would carry their brother inside, along with the rest of the Pall Bearers.
After Swoop was carried in, the Pastor prayed over his coffin, and the pall bearers filled in to the first two pews to the left.
As the service edged further and further along Swoops mother became an emotional wreck as her emotions overcame her.
Lisa sat next to Swoops mom and did her best to comfort her. But as you know in such an event, even her best was not enough.
So many emotions flowed through the church, like fish in the sea, and water under the bridge. It was an awkward silence between the ordered events of the service yet so loud.
After the pastor highlighted some memorable events of Swoops short but precious life, the choir sung few songs, and then came the time for family and friends to express their memories of him before the viewing.
When the time came for friends and family, Bobby Ray allowed the immediate family to say what they needed before he decided to have a turn.
" Sean was like my brother man", Bobby Ray started , as he spoke in reference to Swoop.
" He was one of the best friends anyone could have", he continued as his voice began to crack and tears rolled down his face.
" Imma  miss you brother" he continued as he stared down at the podium. When he looked back up, he noticed he had the undivided attention of every single soul. He looked at Chill and the tears could not stop running down his face.
Bobby Ray had plenty of good things to say as well did others.
Even Spider Loc and a few of the Eight-Trays got up and told the family how much of a stand up guy he was.
"He was indeed before his time" were the last of the last words spoken on his behalf before they were allowed to view him.
Chill and Bobby Ray served their purpose as they escorted Swoops mom up to the casket.
"My Baby!" was all she could say over and over again as she stared at the precious gift in a box. She shook her head and dabbed her tears away with a handkerchief.
After Swoops mom was satisfied with her farewell, Chill had his turn, and then Bobby Ray had his.
It is believed that after death, the body becomes stiff and there is no support for the muscles that help level out the weight.
Lisa escorted Swoops mom outside so she could meet the pall bearers at the Hurst.
Chill and Bobby Ray listened to the instructions from the funeral director with full attention.
All the pall bearers worked as a team. The doors to the church opened and the pall bearers kept the casket close while walking slow and steady. They coordinated each others step with the person that was in front of them.
Chill and Bobby Ray were halfway down the stairs to the church when they struck. Before anybody had a chance to look, people were getting hit left and right. Shots rang out uncontrollably.
When Bobby Ray looked up he saw 3 cars full  Poppin shots his way. A few pall bearers got hit and the casket slipped out of their hands and slid down the stairs like goods on a production line.
Everything happened so quick that they barely had time to fire shots back.
" I can't believe this shit" Bobby Ray mumbled to himself.
The smoke hissed out the barrel of his gun still hot from the shots he fired back.
"The ultimate disrespect" was the last thought that crossed his mind.
Now Bobby Ray really had no choice.
It was either Kill or be Killed. He had to play the game, or let the game play the shit out of him.
