First, Derek Sivers’ blog should be on your must-read list. Second, read his excellent post ”Kurt Vonnegut explains drama.”

I was at a Kurt Vonnegut talk in New York a few years ago. Talking about writing, life, and everything.

He explained why people have such a need for drama in their life.

He said, “People have been hearing fantastic stories since time began. The problem is, they think life is supposed to be like the stories. Let’s look at a few examples.”

You can probably see where this is going.
