Author Seedbed Slides
Notes from July and August presentations
There is a treasure trove of information in this post! Bookmark this and come back to it often as you continue in your writing journey.
I appreciate your patience in getting these notes to you. Life got a little crazy for a minute, what with my first solo art show at the Ragged Edge and the birth of a new granddaughter.
I’m back in the saddle and hope you find these helpful. Got questions? Send me a message. xo Felicia
