Fun Fridays – July 8, 2022

Want to be terrified or at least made uncomfortable or be in awe? Watch today’s video about a warehouse in London with more than 2,000 active robots filling consumer orders.

It seriously looks like something out of a science-fiction thriller. (The Robocapalypse?) When they call it “The Hive” and there is one artificial intelligence running the show, oh my.

Next thing you know an A.I. will be writing your book for you!

Since many in the U.S. will be spending this weekend celebrating Independence Day at picnics and backyard barbecues, I thought it’d be fun to place an unforgettable jingle in your mind. And then a second video below that gives a behind-the-scenes look from the fellow who wrote it. Enjoy!

Jelly Beans = One Day

I came across the below video and thought it a good reminder. It is sobering to watch. But it is important to occasionally step into topics of mortality and eternity. To think for a moment about the gift of today. This day, June 27th, 2022, is a gift from God. Contemplate the below sentence with which I ended a speech at the recent Blue Ridge Christian Writers Conference. “The world will be …

This video is a vivid picture of all the roles a writer must fill if or when they self-publish. It can be done and done brilliantly. But it does take a lot of intentionality and expertise to excel in every part. I know many authors who do. Enjoy this 90-second video celebrating the Authorpreneur!

What Do You Read to Stay Informed?

I am occasionally asked to list the magazines, newsletters, and blogs I read to stay informed about our industry. It is a good question. But when I started compiling the list, I realized how ridiculously long it is. Therefore, I can only list selected highlights by type of media. Lest you get the wrong impression, realize I’m an eclectic reader who skims the surface of the waters gleaning …

The unsolveable puzzle that is supposed to be solved. Today’s video is intended to make your brain hurt. But therein lies the tale. Are there metaphors here for your writing life? Or something to add to your book? How about a character who creates crossword puzzles…by hand… or one who solves the hardest puzzles in ink, not a pencil? Or someone who can look at a series of numbers …

I’ve left all the comments intact since they add to the ongoing conversation.

Twenty corny puns to brighten your day. Don’t blame me if you groan. To whomever stole my copy of Microsoft Office, I will find you. You have my Word! How do you catch a whole school of fish? With bookworms. What’s the difference between the bird flu and the swine flu? One requires tweetment and the other an oinkment. Why can’t your nose be 12-inches long? Because it would be a foot. What …

When You Hit the Wall of Discouragement

by Steve Laube
 
I recently received the following question from a client (an award winning author):
Is it common for an author to hit a wall of discouragement? To feel as though they're working so hard for so little? To question why they're doing this?

Unfortunately it is quite common. Doesn't mean it aches any less. Sort of like getting old…everyone does and it aches, but it is a common …
