More From Kenneth R. Miller

I think it is our job, as writers, to be epic. epic and tiny at the same time. if you're going to be a fiction writer, why not take on something that means something. in doing this, you must understand that within that epic structure it is the tiny story that is possibly more important.
Jobs Mean Thinking
Evolution isn't just a story about where we came from. it's an epic at the center of life itself. far from robbing our lives of meaning, it instills an appreciation for the beautiful, enduring, and ultimately triumphant fabric of life that covers our planet. understanding that doesn't demean human life - it enhances it.
Beautiful Gratitude Appreciation
If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation. if i got any comfort as i set out on my first story, it was that in nearly every story, the protagonist is transformed. he's a jerk at the beginning and nice at the end, or a coward at the beginning and brave at the end. if the character doesn't change, the story hasn't happened yet. and if story is derived from real life, if story is just condensed version of life then life itself may be designed to change us so that we evolve from one kind of person to another.
Real Nice Character
Darwin matters because evolution matters. evolution matters because science matters. science matters because it is the preeminent story of our age, an epic saga about who we are, where we came from and where we are going.

Drive-bys want you to think that donald trump doesn't have a mind of his own. he's either doing what steve bannon tells him to do or he's either doing what jared kushner tells him to do or he's then doing what gary cohn tells him to do, and then sometimes he might do what ivanka trump tells him to do. they want you to believe he doesn't have a mind of his own, that he actually believes the last thing somebody tells him. i don't think that's how it happened.
Believe Thinking Mind
The self is not only the centre but also the whole circumference which embraces both conscious and unconscious; it is the centre of this totality, just as the ego is the centre of consciousness.

I'm never a fan of the sociopathic kind of reviewing, people who are sort of self-immolating and have social problems or whatever, and let it out in literary-criticism form. i just feel like book reviewing should be respectful and calm and not filled with bile.

All of the things that have happened in my life have been self-propelled. i can't blame anybody else or point a finger at anybody.

It was so much easier to blame it on them. it was bleakly depressing to think that they were us. if it was them, then nothing was anyone's fault. if it was us, what did that make me? after all, i'm one of us. i must be. i've certainly never thought of myself as one of them. no one ever thinks of themselves as one of them. we're always one of us. it's them that do the bad things.
