Your life is a story. My life is a story. When your life and my life come together, a new story is formed. When viewed as a story, life has signposts, initiations, milestones, and more. Nearly any novelist will tell you that when you write stories, they come to life in your own life. You can learn a lot about yourself from the stories you write.

When people ask me if one of my main characters is really me, I say ALL my characters are me (at least parts of them are). Even the bad guys. In this way, I write to know myself better. In this category, I’ll write about how life is a story, how the stories we “create” come to life in our own lives, and how we can use the truths about how to write great stories to create a great life.
