Begin Again: Short Stories From The Heart - Plot & Excerpts
It embodies the push behind my writing. If memory serves, I wrote this before my life fell apart. I might have been pregnant with my third child or maybe she was only a few months old. I can’t remember, but when I read this story, I sense the urgency in the words… for me at least. What was I thinking? Why did I write about time and regrets? It’s probably better I can’t recall, but that outpouring opened my heart and my soul to the need for more words, more exploration. More stories. And that’s where A Family Affair came from, as well as Simple Riches ...and all the others that followed and those to come. I’m not going to include this piece because it’s so very fractured and has way too many clichés. The story is about a woman racing through life with such urgent determination that she misses out on actually living. A blinding light overtakes her on the road and this signals her time is done. (Did I say this was a bit overdone?) Anyway, through the mucky writing and bad storyline, the woman is taking her last breaths and thinks the following: My carefully mapped-out, pre-programmed, organized life has led me to a dead end.
