miller and me


donald miller rocks my world. in fact he sometimes turns it upside down. it's not often you encounter such a great writer, with such great stories. he writes in such a way that you feel like you're having a conversation with him, over coffee, just listening to him for hours. never getting bored. and he speaks with a profound honesty and simplicity. i'm just finishing off a million miles in a thousand years (read it. now. seriously) and i wrote down some quotes that really stabbed at my heart.

"fear is a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life." pg. 108


"there is a force resisting the beautiful things in the world, and too many of us are giving in.
The world needs for us to have courage.
The world needs for us to write something better." pg. 118


he inspires me to want to live a better story with my life.

watch this space.

things are going to be changing in a big way.

very soon.
an inciting incident.
a character arc.
positive and negative turns.

i'm stoked.
