[...] We’ve talked at length about Jon Acuff and his book Quitter here on the SSPLOG, but the reason we even know who he is today is because of a little blog he started years ago called Stuff Christians Like. It was a clever little niche concept that eventually got him a book deal that eventually got his brand to where it is today. How did he do this? With that same hard work and consistency that we talked about yesterday. In Quitter, he talks about the time he dedicated to making sure he posted something new every morning at 7:00 AM. That drive and the passion it takes to make sure you can keep people coming back for more is what pushed him toward success. We’ve also mentioned the website NoFilmSchool.com a few times, but you may find it interesting that Koo, the guy who created the site, also has a similar story. [...]

I’ve applied to MTV almost everyday for a month and nothing! The competition must be huge.

I haven't read it, but I'll definitely add it to my (very, almost impossibly long) list of books to read. My plane reading was The Thinking Fan's Guide to the World Cup, which was kind of all over the place, in terms of quality of writing; while it was a great companion to the trip, a lot of the essays on the countries in Africa/Latin America/Asia were written by European or American white dudes who'd only been to the country covered in their essay a couple of times... not exactly enlightening.

You remind me of Santiago, the Spanish shepherd boy who journeys to the Great Pyramids in The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho). Have you read that book? If not, read it on the plane to Germany. It will only take you two hours. Its an awesome book. Its about circuitous paths, and serendipity, and taking the road less travelled. I suspect that the MTV job maps to Santiago’s work in the crystal shop (a stepping stone), but you are on your way.
