Trying to Stay Afloat in a Sea of Words: December 2013
http://gpolisner.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 29, 2013. Year-End Round Up, plus Sorry I've Been MIA. Kissing goodbye another year. I know, I know, I've been MIA from this blog. Okay, fine. The only complainer. But still. Nice to know someone is reading. Something happened to me around September of this year: I ran out of words. Okay, fine. Not exactly ran out, but they weren't coming, here, there anywhere, and I wasn't about to force them. 1 My oldest son leaving for college. 4 first and foremost, this:. Alas, my mother does, and to...

Trying to Stay Afloat in a Sea of Words: 2014 into 2015: Shifting (and Settling) Sands (Renew, Resolve, and Relinquish Redux)
http://gpolisner.blogspot.com/2014/12/2014-into-2015-shifting-and-settling.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2014. 2014 into 2015: Shifting (and Settling) Sands (Renew, Resolve, and Relinquish Redux). Study in blue. . . I shouldn't be blogging as I am steeped in revisions on a deadline, if mostly a self-imposed one. Still, old habits die hard, and if I don't blog, this New Year is going to roll in in utter silence from me. with the saddest little whimper on record. Well it appears it's likely going to do so anyway. The sands of my life they are a shifting. Starting with New Years Eve.

Trying to Stay Afloat in a Sea of Words: August 2014
http://gpolisner.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 25, 2014. Longing, falling, rambling, striving. . . routine. A recent photo of me. I'm on a lot of social media these days for my writing "career," and I feel this constant need to update my photos. You might think it's vanity, but it's not exactly. Rather, it's this odd combination of social media ennui and the fear that someone will see me at a book signing who has just seen a stale photo of me online and say, MY GOD, I barely recognized you. This is me. Sort of. Almost. I don't want com...

Trying to Stay Afloat in a Sea of Words: January 2015
http://gpolisner.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 13, 2015. Aging with (fucking) grace, a rambling and curse-filled post. Really. (Sort of). I'm trying to be (fucking) graceful about this aging bullshit. After all, I admire so many people who are. In fact, when I think of the people my age and older who I admire, they are the ones who are aging with (fucking) grace. They don't complain (at least not to me),. Embrace grace. How fucking Seussical. The alarm got set an hour early so I could work on my perfectly-feathered hair. At times, I ...

Trying to Stay Afloat in a Sea of Words: June 2014
http://gpolisner.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 8, 2014. In loving memory of my extraordinary editor, Frances Foster. Last night, the world lost an extraordinary editor and human being, the loving and beautiful Frances Foster. I was only lucky enough to work with Frances on one book, THE PULL OF GRAVITY (though as Frances and I discussed, I am equally and incredibly lucky to be in the hands of my new editor, Elise Howard). But, Frances was the first person, after years of rejection, to take one of my manuscripts. For THE PULL OF GRAVITY.
