I'm 2/3 done with Wandering Stars and agree, having read There, There helps. Both books are wonderful! I'll have to check out your recommendations, I think we have similar taste:)
As a fellow teacher who quit teaching, it took me a while to get out of teaching. My entire life had been driven by the school calendar and the bell schedule, and figuring out what a new rhythm worked was a struggle. Plus it's so hard to embrace the mystery of the unknown without feeling nervous and scared. Love it for you that you're finding a new path!

I’m glad this sounded optimistic…full disclosure: My outlook wavers wildly day to day. Sometimes hourly.
I am excited to keep following your writing journey + ready to be inspired. :)
