First Entry to the New Site


 

Created by Pauline in Canva

Early days yet, but I wanted to get a start on my new Author's Website. Eventually, I will hook up my URL, PaulineEvanosky.com, to the blogspot ThisIsPaulineEvanosky.Blogspot.com. Which has been done as of 10/25/25.

This is something I've been wrestling with on my other website www.TalkingtoSpirit.com. Mostly that works, but there are some aspects of it that are not working. My lessons in not panicking, I suppose.

So, I'm a writer. I've been a writer, or at least I've enjoyed writing, since my teenage years. Never much, nothing that I ever wanted to show people, and actually, not something I believed I could do. It wasn't until I retired in 2016 that I realized I had a shot at being a writer. Finally. 

It's been a long road. Mostly, it was about me learning to believe in myself. 

To write, you need to write. It sounds simplistic, but it is necessary. It's also true that the first things you write are dumb. It's dishwater. It's not exciting, but it is writing. There is also a process where you learn about yourself as you push yourself.

You need to make time to write. When I was working full-time jobs, I had to make time to write. I couldn't cut into my work time, so I used to get up at 4:30 am every morning. You get used to it. Now, almost ten years after I retired, I'm still getting up that early. I did so this morning.

This, my 70th year, is the year I've promised myself that I will start self-publishing books. Likely, they will be through KDP or Amazon.com. 

So, an intro, and as time goes by, I will be adding and arranging things on the site. Thanks for reading, and please stop by for more.

Thinking of Fiction

  Created by Pauline in Canva                                                       Okay, it’s on my mind right now because in a few days, five to be exact, I’m going to start writing a book. The original rules at NaNoWriMo – which is now defunct – were that you write your heart out in November on a novel. Quickly, rushed, no holding back. The goal was not only a novel, but 50,000 words. Okay, so a novel is likely to be more than 50,000 words, but you do the best you can on this first stab. You will be doing rewrites as time goes by, and you move into either finishing it, and with the polishing and editing that happens after November has come and gone. When I first started doing the November challenges with NaNo, I could hardly conceive of writing that much in a month. Interestingly, among all the platforms I write on the internet now (I’ll lis...

How A Psychic Writes Fiction

Image
  Created by Pauline in Canva An interesting thing happens when I write fiction. The characters talk back to me. Well, they aren’t belligerent or anything like that. They just have opinions about things. I spent part of this morning talking to Gloria, my lead female character in the piece of fiction I’ll be writing in November. I suppose you might call this the equivalent of a vacation for anybody else, but I am looking forward to it. Will it ever be published? I don’t know. I’m tending toward doubtful, but you never know. Why am I doing this? Well, I love reading fiction. Old fiction, contemporary fiction. Just all kinds. I’ve not written much of it, though. So, this will be mostly new for me. Anyway, I was asking Gloria’s opinion on the story, on names, on possible settings. The idea, with this book, is to have two people who keep reincarnating together. It’s like they can’t get away from each other. They also love each other, but in this story, they’re going to be coming bac...
