Created by Pauline in Canva   I have lost count as to how many people I’ve heard of who express fear, real fear, about even daring to think that they might be psychic. Many times, it just comes out as an “I don’t believe in that.” I don’t know how much clearer you can get than that. I once had a good work friend who was actually a birthday buddy. We were born on the same day, him in one place and me in another. That bond created for me, at least, a bond that was special. I’d known him for years, and although we both worked at the same place, we never took the relationship further than that. I think it was ten years into knowing him that I finally told him I was psychic. He said, “I don’t believe in that.” He turned and pretty much never spoke to me again. Now, he’s passed on, so we still speak occasionally, but that hurt at the time. I’ve had others in my own family do that and even approach my husband, asking what he was going to do about me. That hurts too. However, it was so...

  Created in Canva by Pauline I know I’ve told you about this before, but I’d like to say it again: Writers read. I don’t have a list of books I recommend other than Stephen King’s book On Writing or Ray Bradbury’s Zen in the Art of Writing. Instead, I have my own idea of allowing myself the freedom to read whatever attracts my attention. Because I’ve been interested in books with a historical flair, especially from the American West during the 1800s, I tend to gravitate toward them. However, that said, I’m open to reading anything. I especially like it when I’m about to scroll further and reject a selection from that day’s offering at Weberbooks, and my Spirit Guide says, “That one”. I trust their opinion that I will enjoy the book. I signed up to receive daily emails from Weberbooks.com reminding me to look at the specials that day from Amazon. These are Kindle books, so you’d either need the free app for your phone or for your computer to allow you to read the free and d...

Created by Pauline in Canva   I’ve got so many places to write on the internet, sometimes I begin to feel overwhelmed. I’m also in training to continue with everything I’m already doing and to try to write a book at the same time. Easier said than done. The idea was to do a NaNoWriMo for myself. They are no longer in existence, but it stands for National Novel Writing Month. The original idea was to write a novel of 50,000 words in one month. In the beginning, 20 years ago, when I first began participating, 50,000 words sounded almost unattainable. I won some, I lost more, but every November was when you signed up to write a book in one month. When you won, you got bragging rights. There were no cash prizes. As time went on, the rules changed, and toward the end of their 25-year run, you could pretty much name your own goals for NaNoWriMo, be it 50,000 words or 100,000 words. You could write anything, fiction, nonfiction, your choice, and it also no longer had to be written in No...

Created by Pauline in Canva It's late. I had a full day with writing. I made a to-do list and got about half of the things done. One ended up being a 1,200 word article for Medium. Another just now was a shorter piece for my other website, Talking to Spirit.com. It's scheduled to be published two days before this one goes out, but the funny thing is that I ended up posting it on this website. Now, Talking to Spirit has to do more with life as a psychic and tips and tricks for folks who would like to invite psychic stuff into their lives, too. Someday I'll be sure to write some books. Actually, I already have, I just have never gotten around to publishing them. In any case, I've always figured that I learned as an adult that you can too. It took me a good five years of intensive study, where I was like a dog with a bone. I just wouldn't let loose. In any case, I don't know if it was because I was tired or what, but I ended up putting that article here on my autho...

  Created by Pauline in Canva I had an idea just now. It is about getting what I write to provide some money for our household. I could turn my hand to writing books. More books, or I could just continue on with my path of offering up “goodies” to the people who read me on the different platforms I write.  I wrote an article on  Substack asking my free subscribers and anybody new who reads to offer up some suggestions as to things I might add to the stuff I write. The only thing coming to mind right now would be psychic readings that don’t cost anything. Depending on the response I get, it might be a thing, or it might be overwhelming, in which case the offering of free psychic readings would need to be a finite amount, say, three a month, with any more than that costing something. What? I don’t know. Enough to make some money.  Maybe $70 a reading. I used to do a lot of paid readings for $70 a pop. Before that, being a new psychic, I figured I should charge people ...

  Created in Canva by Pauline I’m taking a MasterClass with Samuel L. Jackson . He is talking about acting. I am in the middle of creating my characters for my own book, “Once Again”. I wasn’t sure where to go with it. I am at the point early on in the course where Samuel is talking about how you look at any source material about your character. He said if there is a book, read it. Twice. Many times, the author will give you insights into the character’s head. Then, he said, you have to start imagining how the character would act under any number of circumstances. Like, how does this character display anger, and what will set them off? And, why? At this point in writing the book, which has mostly been in my head, I only know about Gloria, a lady who introduced herself to me in Spirit and said she would be my lead female character. I am accustomed to having characters in my fiction get up and do things that I’d never anticipated. It’s a fun part about writing. But that was all...

Created by Pauline in Canva The only thing in this world that you can count on is yourself. Really. It doesn’t matter who is in office and what they are doing. If you have the energy, raise your voice and speak to your government representatives. If you don’t have the energy for it and feel beaten down, well, that’s what I am thinking about. Think of it this way. If you are in a dismal mood, it doesn’t matter one whit what the weather is outside, the health of your bank account, or even your own health. Dismal feelings can pull you down. Bad moods have always been able to pull us down and will continue to derail all our good intentions unless we do something about them. You can change your feelings. My first assault with bad feelings happens when I listen to the news or to social media. I am not really in a position to speak loudly. I’m too old. My health isn’t in the best shape, and I want to protect it. I’ve got a big job to do, and that is to write. Specifically, to write upli...

  Created by Pauline in Canva As a writer, there is nobody to force you to work. You can wait for your muse to strike, or you can go seeking something. Anything. It depends on what you are writing. During the month of November 2025, I have decided to write a story. A novel. It hasn’t quite solidified in my mind. Part of the fun is just seeing what happens. I know I want to aim for 50,000 words. Likely, it should be longer than that. It will be fiction, something new for me. It will draw upon the woo-woo in my life. There is a lot of that. When you have a job that you go to, you need to start and end your day at specific times. These days, when a person works from home, I don’t know how different that might be, although I have some ideas. Like you might have a quota to meet, if your supervisor, who might be in New York, checks up on you and you are not at your keyboard ready to respond quickly, well, I could see somebody getting upset. I don’t think I would like a job like that....
