Books For Starting Over Novels & Stories

And I understand that I need to write about it. I set aside the grant proposals and I open a new document on my computer. I stare at the blank page for a long time. I think about what I want to say. I think about what would matter to people who are in the middle of their own difficult journeys. I think about what I wish someone had told me when I was just starting this work. I start typing. "This is a book about what comes after. Not what comes after surviving. That's the first book. This is what comes after you've survived and healed and built something from the healing. This is what it looks like to exist in the life you've earned through decades of work."

A companion I hadn't asked for. "What do I do?" I asked. The question was barely a whisper. Festus was quiet for a long moment. Then I heard him move, felt his hand on my shoulder, warm and solid. "You start over," he said. "One day at a time. You eat something. You take a shower. You go back to work. You stop waiting for him to come back and you start living for yourself." "I don't know how to do that." "Then you learn."

The older lady patted her shoulder lightly while returning the smile then headed back to her business leaving Amy behind. "Where do I start from?" Confused Amelia whispered. "What kind of Christian books would be less boring?" She exhaled deeply while her fingers traced through the books on the shelf. “‘Ahaha!” exclaimed confused Amy as she picked out a book from the shelf. “What could this be about?” wondered Amy while she read the synopsis of the book in her hand. She read out in an undertone, “Filled with faith and inspiration, Break Out will challenge you to build a new prespective, let nothing hold you back…” Nodding her head in concurrence to the words she read, “ hmmmmm…. I certainly

I started reading baby books at night, using my phone flashlight so the light wouldn’t leak out into the room. I still didn’t have a plan. Not a clear one. But something had shifted inside me during those weeks. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t dramatic. It was steady. I had walked away from a life, returned money I didn’t ask for, and chosen to carry something I hadn’t fully explained to anyone. And somewhere in that quiet, I realized something. I wasn’t falling apart. I was starting over. And whether I was ready or not… I was going to have to figure out exactly what that meant.

After a few hours trawling Fifth Avenue, I stepped into Barnes & Noble, I needed to get some new reading material and more urgently in that moment, loaded with bags, I needed to sit down and get a coffee. The coffee shop was on a mezzanine level and I placed my order and dropped my bags next to a table at the edge overlooking the bustling first floor. There seemed to be a small crowd waiting for the arrival of an author to do a book signing. I tried to make out the name of the author on the signage but it wasn’t clear. The book was called “Starting Over” and I recalled I’d heard about it on a podcast, it was about a woman waking from a Coma and starting her life over. Apparently, it was the

This cafe, was the only thing I held on to assuring myself that this horrible phase in my life would eventually come to an end and even if things don't go back to normal completely, at least I would be able to walk around freely without strangers pointing fingers at me and calling me a murderer. Unfortunately for me though, my hope is now nothing but ashes. Just like that, the only thing that kept me sane disappeared and all I see in front of me is a burnt down building and another murder case that is bound to add more fuel to the already terrible fire in my life. I don't deserve this. No, I don't. I'm too good a person to deserve so many horrible things. I've never hurt anyone and I never w

It would be better to control ourselves now. After washing myself well, I got out of the shower and walked to my bedroom where I changed my clothes. I decided to continue with the books, I looked over the pile of books. Alexander went all out with these books. There were over twenty books, some were small, medium, and extra large. Looking over all of them stacked on each other beside my bed, I decided to go for the smallest one this time. I had read the big ones but nothing useful came from them. It was all about the origination of curses and curses can only be broken by who had created them.

"I want to see that picture book," she frowned and frustratedly slam the closet door and the clothes she just stuffed in came out the closet and scattered on the floor, "Oh shit," she looked down and panicked to see the mess.
