The Year of Revelation

Just lately I have been reading a book by Donald Miller who wrote Blue Like Jazz however, this is not the book I am reading. A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller is a must read for anyone wanting to be a writer. He is a christian and mentions God a lot but even if you choose to not believe in God this book has so many tools for your writing life and yours that you really need to get your hands on one of these.

The main gist of the book is about how you need to be living a good story. If your life was a movie (or maybe a story) would the cinema be full or empty? Would they be rooting for you to win or fail? What is it your striving for? If it's nothing, what exactly are you doing with your life? You might think life is meaningless but maybe you just aren't finding any meaning in yours...


Wow. Just wow. It is blowing my mind such simple things about life and setting up good stories for not only yourself but other people (kids, family, friends) to step into. We watch the characters that we write change into amazing people but don't do the same for our lives. We don't end up chasing our dreams and in the end our life turns into a boring cycle of the same thing that an outsider wouldn't even want to be you. What are we doing???


If you were watching your life, would you be interested in it?
