“Success Is Built When No One Is Watching”
People often believe that success arrives with noise—applause, celebrations, and sudden recognition. They imagine it as a moment when everything changes overnight. But the truth is far quieter. Success is usually built in silence, when no one is watching, and when giving up would be easier than continuing.

Why You Hate Your Draft While You're Still Writing It
I deleted 800 words from my new novel yesterday. I didn't go on a deletion spree because they were unsalvageable. And it wasn't because I'd taken the wrong approach.

How to W(h)in(e). Content Warning.
Jennifer Love Hewitt, the volume of complaining from allegedly grown folks is astounding. I’m especially intrigued by the idea that making the complaint rhyme makes it a poem instead of a thinly-veiled complaint, like there’s a prize for rhyming whining.

The Quiet Princess and the Prince Who Waited (Continue)
The night deepened softly, like the world itself was holding its breath. Moonlight spilled across the palace gardens, turning the marble paths silver and the roses into shadows of themselves. Somewhere far away, bells chimed the passing hour, slow and gentle, as if they too were reluctant to rush what was coming next.

Tapas
Tapas is a site that hosts graphic novels and regular novels. When I first started posting my novels there (that have zero illustrations aside from the cover), I thought that I wouldn't enjoy much success. Reading manga or manhwa is super fun, but I didn't believe for a second that people who enjoy graphic novels would be very interested in my books. I write science fiction, contemporary romance, urban fantasy, and fairy tales. However, my low expectations were exceeded and I got a few followers and a regular rise in my hits.

Write Every Day
I am a writer. I haven’t published much, except on these platforms for writers on Medium, on Substack, Facebook, and on two other personal websites, Talking to Spirit, and on my author’s website, PaulineEvanosky.com, and now on VocalMedia. Five years ago, I was a wannabe writer. This year, I can say I am a writer. What exactly is different between those two points? Over 1,000 articles. Taken separately, I’d say okay, so what else? Added together like I just did, I’m wondering why I don’t have a book project going. Ah, that’s for another day.
