    Now it’s time to bite the fingernails and wonder what’s coming next… or I could just start writing the next book. Oh wait, I already did that. There are times I wonder what I’m doing, and how I can possibly keep this up. I’m nobody? Why are people reading what I write? Classic author nerves.…

    I was very bad yesterday and completely forgot to put up the blog post. You see, I was terribly busy all weekend putting extra effort into studying for two upcoming exams. Both classes my grade is not where I want it, and I’m hoping if I can do well on the exams (last ones before…

    Sometime in the next month, a new piece of my work will come out. Only it won’t appear as Cedar Sanderson, author. The reason for this is that I’m trying a new genre, and to keep from confusing my readers who expect fairies, pixies, and ogres to pop out of the woodwork, or space ships…

    No, not the sea battle, although that is a pretty amazing story in and of itself. Nope, this is me looking at the semester and noting I’m midway through it.

    Posted over at Mad Genius Club… Picking up the thread of Peter Grant’s blog on vacations yesterday, and harking back to David Pascoe talking about writing with an infant in arms, I thought I would touch on techniques to keep productive around the day job.

    Links of Interest… because I have lab at 8 am, followed by a major exam, and a class, and another class… Yay it looks like it won’t rain tomorrow. Although my dear First Reader, as we were talking about umbrellas and my need to carry one on campus at all times (since I’m also carrying…
