Well, guess what? You already are!!! Some of you have been writing a lot longer than others but you HAVE been writing a story. It’s called the “Story of Your Life” and you complete a page every 24 hours. Every single day you are alive you complete one more page in your book. Have you ever considered what the title of your book will be?
For those of you who live life on auto-pilot just soaring through each day, you may want to call the book, “Gone With The Wind” because it will be over before you know it!
If you live in the United States and you have wasted your life, you may want to call your book, “An American Tragedy” because that is what it will be.
If you have spent you life being angry most of the time, you may want to use the title, “The Grapes of Wrath”.
Have you lived your life thinking you are better than everyone else? Maybe you should try “Pride and Prejudice”.
Maybe you believe the bad things other people say about you. Is that you? If so, you should name your book, “Frankenstein” because you have let them create a monster!
Look, the point I am trying to make is this… YOU have control over the story! Nobody else… YOU! You are writing that book each and every day and it is time YOU decided the plot. You have the ability to decide if your life is a best-seller or if your life is “out of order”. Become a Mark Twain or an Ernest Hemingway. Write the greatest story you can.
My hope for you is that your story is a long one and that it becomes a classic!
