Fun Fridays – November 24, 2017
The day after Thanksgiving in the U.S. has been tagged as the biggest shopping day of the year. But yesterday was a day to remind ourselves what we should be thankful for. This brilliant video from a church in Charlotte, NC embodies that reminder. Enjoy! You may have already seen this because it went viral a couple weeks ago. I figured you wouldn’t mind watching it again.

Dance! So many different styles. For any age. For any culture. Sort of like writing isn’t it? The arts are a wonderful thing to behold. Enjoy! Wait. Is that me at the 1:31 mark? Maybe not…

In my years as a bookseller we did variations of …

A change of pace today. Do yourself a favor. Set aside 10 minutes. Turn up your speakers. Quiet your mind and heart. Close your eyes. Then play this video. The song “Alleluia” by Eric Whitaker is performed. (There is nothing to watch, only the album cover is displayed.) While you let the music wash over you, pray.

“Destroy a Book Title with One Word” A fun game to play today! This hilarious pun-related exercise has been around for years but thought we might have fun with it today. Below are some Christian book titles which either have a word added, a word changed, or a letter added or changed, with bizarre results! The first nine are my own creations and the rest are ones I’ve come across …

Every. Single. Action movie trailer in one short visual instruction kit. While hilarious in it’s send up of cliches, it should make every author think of how they are pitching their current book to an agent or a publisher. This “formula” is a form of your competition for people’s attention. Enjoy
