Cedar Sanderson wrote a new post, Interview with a Reader 2 weeks ago
After a series of interviews with self-published authors, I thought I would interview a reader. Or rather, three of them, Sanford Begley, Joseph Capdepon II, and Jack William Finley. (Jack is also a writer.) They […] -
Cedar Sanderson commented on the post, I am a Reader 2 weeks, 3 days ago
I’m hearing this more and more from readers, as well. At the very least, wouldn’t it be nice to have a series where each book could stand on it’s own? So when you find book 3 you don’t have to hunt up book 1? […]

Cedar Sanderson wrote a new post, Covering the Topic 4 weeks ago
The biggest challenge to self-publishing, I found, was creating covers for my stories. Using the native Mac word processor Pages, formatting stories for epub version is a one-click process. Even doc files are easy […] -
Cedar Sanderson wrote a new post, Writing Plans 1 month ago
I’m really tired, and need to study, I have an exam Monday on the Nervous System and the Brain. This week has been really busy, and I’ve been falling behind in my daily wordcount. Some days I make more than my […] -
Cedar Sanderson wrote a new post, Interview with Stephanie Osborn 1 month, 1 week ago
I chose to interview Stephanie Osborn about her writing and publishing work because I really admire her Displaced Detective Series, and I had the pleasure of meeting her in person at LibertyCon 25 last year. She’s […] -
Cedar Sanderson commented on the post, Lost In Space! Reviews of Unknown or Underappreciated Books Post #5 The Apocalypse Troll by David Weber 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Ah – one of my favorite Weber books! I happily re-read this every so often, which is more than I can say for some of the recent Harrington sagas. Thanks for the reminder – I need to make sure I have it as an ebook […]

Cedar Sanderson commented on the post, The Dreaded M-word 1 month, 2 weeks ago
The lack of interest may be avoided by thinking of it as starting a conversation with your readers about things that interest both of you. This could be as narrow as your own writing, but ideally you will offer […]

A recent conversation about self and independent publishing led to me voicing my thoughts on what to do once the book is released. This will also hold true even for the traditionally published, as the publishers […] -
Cedar Sanderson wrote a new post, To ISBN, or Not to ISBN? 1 month, 3 weeks ago
I’ve been on the brink of buying a ten-pack of ISBN numbers a half-dozen times the last few weeks. The reason I haven’t just pinched my nose and stepped off into the deep end is, quite frankly, money. For that ten […] -
Cedar Sanderson wrote a new post, Interview with Pam Uphoff 2 months ago
This week I interviewed another who had taken a less than traditional approach to publishing, Pam Uphoff. Pam has 12 titles on Amazon that I count, and I have been reading her excellent series Wine of the Gods, […] -
Cedar Sanderson wrote a new post, Interview with John McClure 2 months, 1 week ago
As I am preparing to self-publish my first novel, I thought I would talk to some friends who have gone down this road ahead of me, to see what they did, what they think now that it is done, and hopefully offer […]

Just… don’t over-edit. There comes a time when you have to trust youself and stop messing with it. Like your cake that’s all gooey in the centre, what happens if you’re opening the door looking at that cake every […]

Once you have written something with a great hook, a beginning, middle, and satisfactory ending… you don’t have those? Well, that’s a blog for a different day! The next task is to edit what you have written. […]

Cedar Sanderson commented on the post, Writing With Children 2 months, 4 weeks ago
Actually, SF literature lacks kids books, F has quite a few of them these days… I’m also a librarian. What I was talking about and may not have been clear on (all those interruptions) was the lack of family life. […]

Phil, as a compostion prof, I don’t know. I got an A in the class, and I got to help some of the other (younger) students out with their work through critique. Honestly, I had to take it, and I wasn’t too worried […]

Cedar Sanderson commented on the post, Just Write 3 months, 1 week ago
Like exercise, writing becomes more fluid and easier to do as we do it more and more often. I tell beginners all the time to not stress about editing, just write. If you don’t, you run the risk of freezing in fear […]

Cedar Sanderson commented on the post, Just Write 3 months, 1 week ago
Phil, I do plan to use that as a topic sometime soon. I have a weekly post, so I am sure I will run out of ideas, and they are appreciated. As for marketing, that’s a whole ‘nother topic as well. I’ll be […]

There were army men in the bathtub when I stepped into it this morning. Why do we never read about things like this in the far-future worlds of space opera, or the misty-eyed sagas of fantasy? I picked them up […]
