Finis. Caput. Happily ever after. I finally finished the second draft of my second novel. And by second draft, I mean first draft written a second time from a completely different perspective. A rewrite. One novel born of two.

I’m never doing that again. Well. Until I do that again.

Ever since I decided to self-publish this novel, I made the decision to be transparent during the process. I surmise that this will help others and it will make me more accountable to keep moving forward despite discouragements and setbacks that may come. I will be chronicling my progress and sharing it exclusively via Twitter with the hash tag of #felonamabel. Follow me to see some amazing things happen and why I’ve been tagged as a Renaissance man.

“What if Michael Jordan had quit when he was in high school? He would’ve never made Space Jam. And I love Space Jam.”

This is life, people. What will be your Space Jam? This is life, people. Be inspired. And inspiring.

And I definitely wasn’t wearing it as cool as this guy. How significant this day is since he was born on the 19th day and today he’s 19.

Kenn II turns 19

Happy birthday to my firstborn, namesake and second coming, Kenneth Christopher Bivins II. I love you and am quite proud of you.

While famine brings me shame
Or abundance makes me forget that
I ever called on God by name.

Three months old in a haystack
Hope for more than just a hunch
The proof is in the pudding
While the pudding is in my lunch.

Jesus makes me happy
Mohammad makes me think
Agnostics keep me searching
While death just makes me stink.

Inconsolable at the outcome
What a reflection can become
Stress, duress, and excess
In remembrance of a Son?

Affluent ever reaching
“Infant weeps” for no cause
Maybe something’s in his eggnog
And lactose has given him pause.
