The best part, for me, about a new story is the new beginning. Anything is possible when I start a story, even if I think I know the plot. New stories don't know or care about other stories I've written or how well I've written them. Each new idea is a chance to start over.
Thursday morning I will start a real new beginning. I FINALLY have a job after nearly 6 emotional months of job hunting. It's something new and different. I'm not sure how I'm going to like it or if I can handle all of the challenges, but it's a new beginning for me filled with new possibilities.
I'm excited and nervous, the same way I feel each time I start a new story. I like the feeling but wish I didn't have the nagging doubts that I may not be the person to write this particular story. That maybe I might not have the talent to do it properly.
No matter what, I start my new story. I'm hoping this job will at least give me the structure I need to focus on my other goals. I have to admit I've been more than a little depressed since we moved here but I think things are coming together.
The money will at least make me feel I'm contributing to our house and our future adventures. A trip down the Mississippi won't pay for itself, neither will printing and distributing our Pocket Novels. Even things like my personal adventures and hobbies I want to fund myself.
All in all, I'm eager to start this new chapter. I think it will lead to bigger and better things. If nothing else, it'll be something to do that will pay me!
