What I am Doing and What's On my Mind

 

I’m on a deadline right now. Not really, but I have gone and promised to write on each platform I write on, following a specific schedule of articles. Here on my author’s website, I am on a Tuesday and Thursday schedule. Generally, I don’t have a problem thinking up something to write about, but this morning, it’s a little different. I’ve got some things on my mind.

The one most in my face right now is that I don’t feel the best. I had a rough night sleeping last night. I’m not sure why. I know I wasn’t comfortable. Not like there was anything absolutely wrong, I just wasn’t comfortable. I’ve been having trouble sleeping anyway, but with the naps I generally take in the afternoon, it all evens out. Besides, isn’t that something a retired person can look forward to? Naps.

I remember kidding with my boss once when I had been asked to return to work after I’d quit after working three years to be a writer, if I could have a nap in the afternoon. He’d said no. I actually wasn’t kidding. I ended up working for another 18 years or so. In those days, after I returned to my job, I found the time to write either late at night or super early in the morning. Thus, I really needed naps in the mid-afternoon. But sacrifices had to be made. I mean, we were talking about a steady paycheck.

The only other big thing on my mind right now is preparing our financial information for our accountant to use in preparing our taxes. I hate the job, but it has fallen to me to do it. Dennis brings the money home. I do the bookkeeping. The thing is, I don’t mind doing other people’s bookkeeping. I just don’t like doing our own.

I know if I just start doing it, I’m going to get it done. Month by month. There are only 12 months, right? Right.

None of this has anything to do with writing other than the fact that not doing it is holding me back from doing the thing I love most, which is writing.

Also, I felt the need to whine a little bit.

However, whining about it won't get anything done. It might relieve me temporarily, but your image of me as a competent writer might take a bit of adjusting. I mean, whining doesn’t look good on anybody but a four-year-old kid, right? And I’m 70. Old enough to know better.

You know, when I think of the authors I like to read, I never picture them as having any weaknesses. In my mind, I picture them as always in charge, turning and churning out book after book. Satisfying their reader’s need to continue the stories they make of the characters who come to life on the page.

What shows up in print is the best of the best of what they’ve written. I know now just how much a person writes that doesn’t see the light of day. For instance, these articles I write, I would never in a thousand years expect to see in book form. They are my inner thoughts. Sometimes, censored, though not so much recently. Much of what I write here and on my other sites and platforms is puzzling things out. I find it fascinating to follow a sequence of thoughts, much as you’d follow a plot line in a book, from the question or the fear to a better conclusion.

Maybe it is because I am a Virgo and enjoy the tiny details. I wonder what other authors are Virgos?

Shoot. Google told me Stephen King, Agatha Christie, Mary Shelly (Frankenstein), Goethe, O. Henry, H.G. Wells, and George R.R. Martin. These are all writers I’ve known, both through what my husband reads and my own reading. Attention to detail. There were a whole lot more, but these names are the ones that caught my eye.

Then, I got sidetracked into what the characteristics of a Virgo writer are. Lots of material there. You might look up your own sign and see how the life of writing might fit in. With Virgo’s? Perfectionism, attention to detail, precision, and a need to edit while still writing, and get stuck with the never-ending editing. I hadn’t thought about that one, but it is true for me. Presently, I’ve got five books that haven’t been finished because there is just so much to say. Perhaps I just need a shut-off switch.

So, that’s what's up for me right now. Leave a comment if you’d like about the kind of writing you like to do, if you are a writer. Personally, I think if you can tell a story, you are a writer.

Blessings to everyone. Write on!

Hey, thanks for reading. For your convenience or curiosity, I’ve listed some other places where I’m active on the internet.

Write On!

When I first started this website, I really had no idea what I was going to do with it other than advertise whatever books I had published. Right now, there is only the one I wrote so many years ago, “When Spirit Whispers”. Personally, I think it should be redone. The print is too small. Other than that, there are no books. At my author’s website, PaulineEvanosky.com, I hope to also encourage anyone who wants to write to do so. All you need is a blank document or a notebook where you record whatever thoughts you have. You can’t heal what you don’t know is there without taking an introspective look at your own life. A journal is a way to begin. After a time, you might eventually want to share what you write.

I write a lot these days at all the different places on the internet: Medium, where the articles are aimed with humor at older people of which I am a member, giving advice to young people, finding psychic-minded folks to share Spirit humor with, finding folks who’d like to be psychic and giving tips for them to gradually embrace that lifestyle and giving courage and hope to anybody who needs it. Basically, everything I am.

I have had a website geared toward my own psychic journey since 2001. I began channeling in 1993, so I took a few years to get better at being a psychic channel and decided folks might also benefit from what Spirit was talking about. I call it Talking to Spirit. This site has undergone many changes over the years, culminating in its present incarnation on the Blogger platform. Free of charge. Yes? Yes. Last summer, I got a bill for $785 or so for the website hosting platform I’d had for several years. I haven’t had a paying job since 2016, or thereabouts, and could not justify that kind of expense. They weren’t at all helpful, so I thumbed my nose at them and migrated my pages over to Blogger. It was nice to take my domain name with me, so it was a lovely fit. Because none of these websites has the same setup, I had to make some adjustments. One of them is that I now post articles regularly. There is also a bit of JavaScript that changes out a short bit of Daily Channeling from my Spirit Guide, Seth.

Another place I write is on Substack. The site's title is "Talking to Spirit," just as my website is. It has evolved into a place for articles that encourage people with Life Lessons, help people who might be discouraged, and open people’s eyes to the magic of living more in tune with Spirit, however that might appear to them. There is never one way. In fact, there are many ways to live with Spirit. Additionally, I’ve recently instituted a thrice-weekly feature in the Substack Notes section with a card I prepare in Canva with another daily bit of advice from Seth. As with the Daily channeling on the Talking to Spirit website, here, too, I prepare myself as a vehicle to receive whatever Spirit would have to say. Mostly, there is a theme to follow, and I move with that. Once a week or so, I will sit and take channeled dictation from Spirit. It’s what I do as a psychic channel.

In the past, I’ve started some YouTube channels. I enjoyed the work but found that creating these videos took a lot of time. I might return to them over time.

The writing is there. In my heart and in my mind, the goals for each type of audience I appeal to are the same. The lessons learned are the same. The purpose is to be able to live lives of determination, of love and beauty, whatever a person’s circumstances are.

Dreams are the same for everyone, no matter what their walk in life looks like. We are all related. All of us born of the same seeds, the same star stuff. If I can help a person open their heart for five minutes, perhaps it will be easier for them to do so themselves at another time.

Blessings to everyone.

Write on!
