Happy Monday!
(Yes, I realize that may be an oxymoron, but to survive me must fool ourselves where we can. :P)

Fan Fun

Exodus: Gods and Kings Official Trailer #1 – This should be cool. Haven’t had Egyptian stuff in a while. Sweet!

Unbroken Official Olympics Trailer – will be a definite tear jerker.

Ping Pong Summer Trailer – comedy set in 1985 – might be cute. 😛

The Identical Trailer – what’s truly funny about this is that though it is not Elvis Presley, it’s definitely treated as if it were. Which is super cool and creepy since Elvis seemingly had a twin that died at birth! So you could look at this almost as a what if. Go Seth Green!

Social Media/Author Platform

From Facebook for Business – New Direct Response Features: Multi-Product Ads and Enhanced Custom Audiences from your Website – man, I really, really need a clone. So little time…

How to Schedule and Edit Facebook Posts Using Facebook – from Ravi Shukle at the Social Media Examiner. Ooooh, schedule ability! Nice!

Writing Advice

Want More Conflict in Your Novel? Go DM & Balance the Party by Kristen Lamb. Hah! Using ye old D&D alignment rules to help figure out characters. Heh. Being a gamer does have some advantages. Nice. (Though a few of the alignment examples I could argue with. But this is a subjective thing. Heh.)
