You've got to write Lisp, not the stuff you type in the minibuffer.
Mine contains things like
(put 'eval-expression 'disabled nil)
(display-time)
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)
(setq dired-listing-switches "-Failg")
(setq text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
(global-set-key "\C-\\" 'call-last-kbd-macro)
(global-set-key "\C-[/" 'yow)
... and so on.
