A New Book Project

Created by Pauline in Canva

I asked my husband yesterday what he would consider to be a good schedule to write a book. I have recently, over the last six months, adhered to a writing schedule in which I wrote about 10 stories/short pieces every week. The requirement was that they be psychic in nature for my Talking to Spirit website, related to writing here at PaulineEvanosky.com, and related to pretty much anything at my places on Substack and Medium.

Or I could rant a bit and reflect upon that. It’s interesting to me how we have these hard lessons, and they are different for everybody, but how we can learn from each and every one of them. I don’t know what your particular lessons are, but mine have centered on how I view myself, how failure isn’t really failure, and just life in general.

Anyway, the idea is two-fold. I want to create a little bits and pieces JavaScript for TalkingtoSpirit where I could introduce one little step at a time that over time would build up and be a foundation anybody could use to tap into their own psychic nature. Eventually, all these little bits and pieces would end up in a book. That’s why I’m writing this in this blog as a writer.

So, my question was: Does something have to drop by the wayside to make way for this project?

My idea would be that, yes, I’d need to clear enough room for writing a book. I’ve actually written several books. I dropped everything to do these projects. Nothing, however, has ever been published. But I wrote the books.

I could get lost in a five-hour chunk of time. All of my energies pointed toward the task at hand. So, when I asked my husband, who is also a writer, though of a historical bent, what he thought about the idea of me writing for 4 hours a day on the book from 10 am to 2 pm every day, he said, No, he wouldn’t recommend it. He said four hours was too much. Two hours would be better. Then I could also jam in whatever else I wanted to do with the time left. Two hours sounds better to me, anyhow.

Now, there was a time when the psychic/spiritual side of me would have thought being lost in a meditation to the tune of longer than 20 minutes would be glorious. In the beginning, it would take me at least that amount of time to relax into the meditation, and after that, it was just short. I heard from so many people who said things like, “Oh, I meditated for three hours and was so much the better for it. I am so enlightened now that I won’t need to reincarnate ever again.” That’s just delusional thinking, I think.

The thing with being deep in a meditation for that amount of time is that you get the blowback of all your emotional problems. They rise to the surface, demanding that you look at them. How this manifests in your life is that you get super cranky. You have fights with everybody. Life is bad. Nobody sees things the same way you do. It’s just a mess and you are miserable.

You need to deal with it. Having a meditation coach might help. I don’t know that I’ve ever had one myself, but I’ve been told it is almost essential for long, drawn-out meditations. This shit rises to the surface automatically. If you aren’t prepared to handle it, it will kick you in the behind.

Or you can sign up for some therapy. I’ve had spots of therapy through the years, and although not everybody could get on board with the idea that I talk to dead people, they had good suggestions.

Additionally, you are never completely cured. The thing with therapy is that the therapist asks you why you have made an appointment. You tell them you are unhappy. Or whatever. A conversation ensues. You talk about what’s going on in your life. Your therapist has some suggestions for things that you can do, and you feel better about yourself and life.

Over time, life is good again, and you and your therapist part ways. Life continues until your buttons get pushed again. Anything could set them off. A death in the family, getting fired or let go from your job, or graduating with honors. Anything good, bad, or indifferent could set you off. You think, “That therapist didn’t help me. Phooey on any more therapy.”

No, no, no, no.

The therapist helped you to the extent that you got back into living. Something kneed you in the groin, and it was like nothing was ever solved. Au contraire. What happened is that the Universe, or God, or your higher self decided you were ready to do some more healing.

The first healing was good. But, you’ve got more to do.

So, the fact that I wrote all those books in isolation, well, maybe I shouldn’t do that again. Maybe two hours a day, to plan, to write chunks for each of the chapters, and then somehow narrow it all down to a logical plan. That sounds good to me.

However, I feel I need to get back to some basics again. The basics I have recommended to people who have expressed interest in learning how to be more psychically aware.

Here’s my plan:

January 1st quickly approaches. I would like to start reading the lessons in A Course in Miracles again. There are 365 of them; the channeled course is intended to last a year. I only ever got halfway through, so now, I have the opportunity to read it again. Additionally, there is a workbook for the course I never cracked open and a third section for teachers. Go to ACIM.org to see the book and the lessons online. Or you could buy a copy. Somewhere I have one (or two), and I’ve also got one on my Kindle. It’s a good investment. I guarantee it will change your life.

Read Opening to Channel by Sanaya Roman andDuane Packer again. It was this book that finally allowed me to learn how to channel. Again, a life changer.

And it doesn’t matter whether you are a reporter, a scientist, a lawyer, a bookkeeper, or a policeman. Both of those books will help you to be a better human being.

So, this might be an insight into how I am approaching a big book project. Tell me if you’re thinking about doing something similar this year. I’d love to hear about it.

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

Love,

First Entry to the New Site

Image
  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...

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...

Thinking of Fiction

Image
  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...
