A Story: The Characters

A local university has asked me to come speak to one of their freshman classes next week about living 'outside the box'. As I've been pulling together a powerpoint (yes, I'm that powerpoint geek guest speaker), Donald Miller's book A Million Miles In A Thousand Years has been floating in the back of my mind along with obscure Patty Griffin lyrics. The two just seem to gel well together.
Miller's book has a very basic thesis: "A story is a character who wants something and overcomes conflict to get it."

So here's our story's main characters...

The Characters

Kati H: Closet Opera Singer

Travis: Snake Charmer


KB: Above Average Hula Hooper

 
Back to Patty's "Top Of The World". Thanks for reading.

Blessings,
