I like it. Dangerous in some Christians circles, but as far I'm concerned, right on. Keep up the good posts over there at Rose's Reasonings! Rose,

You really pulled me in at first. I thought, "Wow, who is going to write with?" Of course, the Lord. When I was young I used to think that my life was like a movie that God was watching. Now I see the future as more open, more unwritten, more like a documentary, than I used to as a fatalistic youngster. Thanks for the post! Hi Jeremy,

The only point I was trying to make is that viewing life as story helps me make decisions about the future. Do I really want my life to be about having a nice house, eating at nice restaurants, and watching tv? If so, shoot me in the head right now. Good comments, both of you.

I think it's a much more interesting tale when I am simply one of the characters whose life is intertwined with many other characters - like Pulp Fiction.

The way you describe it sounds more like a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choose_Your_Own_Adventure" rel="nofollow">Choose Your Own Adventure</a>. Is it an equal collaborative partnership or more of a 51/49 percentage split? How do you know the original author isn't simply going to overrule any decisions you make that he might not like? You know, even when two experienced authors who are fantastic on their own try to collaborate, the result can be a big mess, i.e. Stephen King and Peter Straub. My movie feels a little like Gone With the Wind. Great beginning, but just kind of meandering to a close. Sometimes it feels like it's just going on and ON for no reason. But mine doesn't have an intermission. Unless this is a just particularly long intermission. I should probably hurry up and finish my cigarette, just in case.
