Narrative Expressions

by Donald Miller

The larger story can be seen everywhere. Yet, we as individuals have a difficult time understanding where we connect to that story. Hear the personal journey of a successful writer struggling to understand his unique role in positively contributing to the larger creation.

Wow, awesome to see this video accompanied with the book I just read from Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. Donald's interesting perspective on life as a story is very interesting when examined in the arena of other peoples lives, which interestingly enough is kind of like film, but with this these are real people and real situations, which always has more of an impact. Donald's perspective has changed my thinking in terms of who I am? and where am I going? I try now to think of my life as a story that's being created and in doing that I have thoughts of do I like my story? So, this whole concept has been a great "kick in the pants" for really evaluating where I'm at and what kind of story I'm creating for myself. If you liked this video you will definitely like, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, I highly recommend it and Robert Mckee's book The Story...

I am currently reading your book, 'A Million Miles In A Thousand Years,' but I have just started. But I decided to buy the Cliff Notes in the from of watching a couple of your videos. I guess I wanted to see what I was getting into.

Well... in one fell swoop, you made me realize how pathetic I am. You also made me realize how blessed I am at the same time, because my kids still love me.

Like everybody does, I am going through a tough spot. My wife decreed a divorce not too long ago based on a value system. No job = no worth. It's not been a great 20 years together, but for the most part things from her don't surprise me. That decree definately hit me from the left.

I am a wood tick: Very hard to kill and they suck the blood out of things. Admittedly, I have strength. I have never doubted I will make it through this, but, sadly, until this video, I realized you can not provide a good story if you do it actiing like a wood tick.

My story would be created by the discovery channel, showing a day in the life of a wood tick. The only cool part was when I bored my head into some animals flesh, which is the second part. The first part is the wood tick crawling.... and crawling... and crawling. The only thing keeping people remotely interested is that.... who's the guy who does the narritive on the universe show....? Anyway, that guy.

My fortune lies in the golden hearts God has given my children.

I need a story. I need a life.

Thank you for saying things simply enough for me to get it.
