Saw this in my twitter feed, aside from some odd theatrics, I thought it was a nice animated summary of my Gumball Machine metaphor within my new book UNSCRIPTED . Not sure who the gal is, lol.

There are 2 ways to change your luck:

1) Keep throwing action into the gumball machine

and

2) Change the contents of your gumball machine.
