Online Writing: Do You

With the kids on spring break, my daughter and I (along with her best friend and her best friend’s mom) took a trip to the city. I call it “The City” because I’m a born and raised Bronx gal. We call Manhattan, “The City.” If you’re a New Yorker, the city needs no further defining. [...]

Online Writing: My Sophomore Year

4 Years Down...More to Go

My Unofficial Online Writing Degree

February 9th marks my 4-year anniversary of the beginning of my online writing career.  It’s almost like completing 4 years of college.  In usual Felicia mode, I have to look back and reflect.  You know, there’s something about aging that makes a person more reflective.
