Fresh Starts

As most of you know I write short stories and novels like I live and breathe (: It's that easy to me and I have recently been inspired to write another book. I have already written a short series, Apple Blossom, Awakening Blossom and Open Blossom. Of course I have not edited them or come close to publishing them because I not at that point in my life where that would be necessary at my current age. I am just throwing out ideas for my future and I will have a book published in the future for sure. But back to my new inspiration. I have recently caught up with my uncle and we have discussed a few things. Some of the things I have mentioned seem like a great topic for the new idea of a book/story. I usually don't title my stories before I begin writing them but with all the words I have already written out I thought I would just title it Fresh Starts for now. Here is the beginning or the prologue type thing for my story to start out with. It's short but it expresses lots of feelings. I have almost finished the first chapter and started the day before Thanksgiving (:

EXCERPT:

We’ve been here many times before and just to believe what we once believed would be quite impossible with the knowledge we have recently encountered. Some kind of fear deep inside of us might reach the top in a matter of seconds and cause an extraordinary reaction. This reaction is nothing we would enjoy, because every second it occurred would be another reality check to the facts we already know. The pain we might meet is not worth it. To go back again is just saying how much we’ve missed the pain. Who’s missed pain? I know with every waking moment I never miss pain. I let go of every grudge, every awkward silence, every unanswered question and every lie. I rely on the truth. The truth may hurt to hear, but the truth is worth hearing because the truth tells a story that only makes sense with all of the pieces.
