I'm so glad you stopped by.
From ...Hi Dina! I'm so glad you stopped by. <br /><br />From the book:<br /><br />*******<br /><br />Steve said, "We are going to take the essence of you and find the story."...<br /><br />Essentially, we were adapting my life.<br /><br />"I mean no disrespect," I said. "But what is wrong with the Don in the book?"...<br /><br />Steve sat thoughtfully and collected his ideas..."A movie is going somewhere."<br /><br />"What Steve is trying to say" Ben spoke up..."is that your real life is boring."<br /><br />It didn't occur to me at the time, but it's obvious now that in creating the fictional Don, I was creating the person I wanted to be, the person worth telling stories about.<br /><br />*******<br /><br />Lots of good life and even writing wisdom in here. You will love it! I'll bet you'll read it again and mark it up like I did. :)<br /><br />Beholding God with you,<br />SandySandra Heska Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770393615748405966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577912086828943548.post-83543692619724528982009-10-01T09:19:10.140-04:002009-10-01T09:19:10.140-04:00So, Melinda...you need to read this book!

Certainly God is the overall author, but I guess the question for me is am I willing to cooperate with Him in transforming within my role--enter a new chapter--respond to an "inciting event" in a way that brings even more meaning?<br /><br />Beholding Him with you,<br />SnadySandra Heska Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770393615748405966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577912086828943548.post-35096385922362262022009-10-01T08:57:50.934-04:002009-10-01T08:57:50.934-04:00I read Miller's "Blue Like Jazz," so...I read Miller's "Blue Like Jazz," so it's surprising to hear that he felt like he had no stories in his life :)<br /><br />This sounds interesting though, please enter me in the drawing. dinasleiman at gmail dot com.<br /><br />I do think its possible to write a new story. God makes all things new. Sometimes it seems as though people will never change, but I've seen God do deep works in peoples' hearts that proves otherwise.Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577912086828943548.post-51569039737667094442009-09-30T20:24:06.933-04:002009-09-30T20:24:06.933-04:00I have not read his book.
