In the Winter of 2015, DR C became a blogger. Her blogs have detailed her experiences of teaching and coaching writers. The results, within sixteen weeks, yielded the publication, Community College Students' Literary Collage, a compilation of children’s and adult short stories, poems, and short plays. DR C continues to blog.
