the week of october 14th!

Another quote from Donald Miller‘s book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years:

“Writing a story isn’t about making your peaceful fantasies come true. The whole point of the story is the character arc. You didn’t think joy could change a person, did you? Joy is what you feel when the conflict is over. But it’s conflict that changes a person…[when you write a story] you put your characters through hell…that’s the only way we change. All that made me wonder if our stories aren’t being stolen by an easy life.”

Question of the week: is there a challenge you are facing right now? Are you stuck there or do you see it pushing your story forward to something better?

See you thursday at 1 in the campus center dining area!
