Waterfall's World

            About around March 2020, the whole world went into lockdown because of the coronavirus also known as COVID-19. Former president Donald Trump was warned earlier in the year but did not anything to prepare the United States. The pandemic happened during an election year in which Trump had lost. Businesses, schools, restaurants, bars, nightclubs movie theaters shutdown due to the stay at home order. Events and festivals which included that 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan was cancelled.               Broadway turned off their lights and shut down productions. People quarantined in their homes to prevent the virus from spreading any further. Hundreds of thousands people died because of this virus. People lost their jobs, homes and businesses.              Celebrities were not immune to this pandemic. Some were either tested positive and/ or lost their lives. The world went into recessions. Asians ( my stepmother is Malaysian) were blamed since the virus originated in Wuhan,

First of all, I would like to wish you all a Happy National Poetry Month.  During and after I graduated from university, I did submit some of my poetry on different publications and on my alma mater's literary review called The Oracle. They got turned down unfortunately. However, I did discover PoetryVibe and got good comments. I finally self published my book, The Eclectic Mind of Vee , and I might put it in audiobook. Hey! I might translate my poetry books in different languages. Anyway! Happy National Poetry Month!

April will be Poetry Month and I hope you love my debut book, The Eclectic Mind of Vee and future books to come. Here are things I need to push my creative endeavors a whole lot further.

First of all, I would like to thank you all for your love, support and buying my book, The Ecelctic Mind of Vee . I would also would like to thank my mom, Judy Newbern, for proofreading and editing my debut book. Anyway, I have been working on about a few more books and a screenplay or two. I just have to do a lot of research and writing my manuscript. I also have been reading a lot of books about self publishing. Especially about self publishing at the digital age I live in. Adevertising, marketing, promotion, taxes, etc are a definite must in order to increase my book sales and how self publishing works. There are a couple of books I have been reading by Joanna Penn. They are called Business For Authors and How To Make A Living Your Writing: With Books, Blogging and More. I will keep you posted. Oh...HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!

 Remember when I was going to write of book of poetry? Remember when I was having trouble coming up with a title for this book? Well, after years of writer's block, blood, sweat tears, and editing from my mom, my debut book, The Eclectic Mind of Vee , has finally been released. It might become available in other outlets. Those outlets might be the following: Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, Walmart, Books A Million, etc.

On Janurary 6, 2021, Pro-Trump protestors breached the Capitol building. Washington DC has been placed under lockdown. A 6pm curfew has been enforced until 6am the next day. One woman was shot and killed. Trump told them to go home and in and that they were "special." Here is my opinion on the situation. Those protestors are on the wrong side of history. Inaugration is about to happen in two weeks and those protesters are in denial. Do you know what else I saw?. NEW COVID-19 CASES! Nothing was social distancing at all. I bet some people are going to lose there jobs, families, financial aid and/or even kicked out of school. Now, let this black and brown people. There would be water house sprayed on people, tear gas, the Capital would be on fire, arrests, beatings by authorities and even more deaths. This has been one of the most stupidest moments in American history.

 I know that 2020 has been a rough year. However, there have rougher years and the world has faced worse than. I noticed that every time there's a economic crisis, war, pandemic, or any other hard , people talked it's "the end of days." There was a theory that the world was going to end on December 21, 2012. Only God knows when the world's to end already. I feel like that poem from the Tupac Shakur called A Rose From Concrete. In my opinion, the concrete represents hard times and the rose represents myself. I also think about the businesses that started during a hard time in history. For example, popcorn was introduced in movie theaters during the Great Depression. If I ever find myself going through a hard, I must either survive or thrive. I noticed social media that due to the COVID-19, couples are having something called micro weddings. During the Great Depression and World War II, couple did something similar. It was called eloping or a trip to the justice of
