I Want to Interview You
I wrote a post earlier this week on writers respecting their readers. As I’m thinking about it more, I’d like to interview some readers for my blog. I have a perspective as a writer and a reader, and I talk to writers all the time, but not as much to readers. In the changing world…

Finding my Voice
I’m still a bit sleepy, so if this post rambles, forgive me… Sarah Hoyt’s series over at PJM on writing a novel in 13 weeks is up to 6 weeks, I missed week # 5, but here is the new post, and an excellent one. Finding your voice, or in my case, knowing which character…

An Interview with Stephanie Osborn
Crossposted from Amazing Stories Mag, where I blog on Mondays. I interviewed Stephanie Osborn because I really like her Displaced Detective stories, and if you’re a Sherlock fan, you should definitely try them out! Click here for her first in the series *very* reasonably priced! Cedar Sanderson: Why do you write? Stephanie Osborn: Wow. That’s…

Throwing Rocks
I am writing along to Sarah Hoyt’s 13 Weeks to a Novel posts over at PJ Media, and her post for week four is particularly on target for me. How to find the time to write… well, I find it mostly by having little to no free time. Between school, and work, and a long-distance…

Crossposted from Amazing Stories: 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 provide them with less and less support. We must be able to be businessmen, not…

To ISBN or not to ISBN
My internal debate made external, cross-posted at Amazing Stories Oh, and apologies, I am missing both the period key and the question mark from this keyboard – hope to rectify it later today! 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…

Week 2 of the novel
I am writing along with Sarah Hoyt as she does the 13 Weeks program, check here for the details. This week she covers the topic of an idea for the novel. Since I am working on mine already, I just have to encapsulate the idea. Which is a trick in itself, as it’s hard to…

The Other Blog
It occurs to me that when I comment or otherwise chime in on other’s blogs these days, there may be some confusion when you check me out and find a farm blog (or these days, slice of life family blog). I also write, and that blog is here: http://cedarwrites.wordpress.com. My name really is Cedar, that’s not…

Interview with John McClure
This is cross-posted from Amazing Stories, where my blog posts appear weekly. Tomorrow, if anyone would like (I realize about 5 of you read this blog, and I’m related to half of you) I will post a snippet of a story. Dont’ know which one, yet, probably not the one I’m working on, as it’s…
