In my neck of the woods, it's that time of the year... Technically, it's all seasons in a day, but the cool down is starting to stick more than the summer heat. So I'm starting to think of those cozy things. Hoodies, bon fires, sweaters, the apple pumpkin products... So this week's theme is a … Continue reading Falling For Music Monday

Found In Red Letters – Fiction Friday
Because our mains only see what they see, there's plenty of stories that fall just off screen. Today I present something Found In Red Letters... Soulful, Winter 2009 Sly tended bar at night. It was quiet enough to read when Tweety left for the night and the crowd slowly followed. This particular weekend, Gus’ grandson … Continue reading Found In Red Letters – Fiction Friday
Music Monday History of Souful
In the book world, Soulful bar and nightclub already existed before Tweety and the crew found it and helped revamp it into the next version of it's life. So, what kind of life did this bar have? Can I show it with music? I like a good challenge... No matter what decade it was, there … Continue reading Music Monday History of Souful
Sly Before Red Letters Fiction Friday
The final installment in the Sly feature is a little alluring lore about the legendary myth himself. As always, I try to leave it as fragments of fiction, giving you the scene but not the whole book. Sly especially is a character you get to know over time through other people's perceptions of his actions. … Continue reading Sly Before Red Letters Fiction Friday
Before Red Letters – Sly Before Soulful
Wardrobe Wednesday with the very stoic Sly! I promise it will be more than his only black suit. The milkshake habit and need for written words came from somewhere too... Side note, Sly is a character in the WIP world. But there's a real person who had feedback in the OG draft that maybe ended … Continue reading Before Red Letters – Sly Before Soulful

He is also the late night host, the word wise guy, the music debater if you're there when … Continue reading Music Monday with Maestro Sly
Soulful Firsts For Fiction Friday
This week, I will share the other side of a big event. In our Red Letters series, this goes smoothly for the mains in book one, and we see some of this mood later when these characters come up in their own rights and the more current timeline in later books. I don't want to … Continue reading Soulful Firsts For Fiction Friday
Music Monday Tall Tales
This month we're talking about the bar world. For this Monday, I'm thinking about music that tells stories you might hear in a bar, with or without the beat behind it. After all, Tweety isn't our only unreliable narrator... What if short moments that make or don't make the main story are inspired by song … Continue reading Music Monday Tall Tales
Red Letters Lessons – WIP World Mood Board
This month, I am working with a Random Red Letters theme, sticking to beginnings, back stories, and lessons learned. Because September is the month that the Red Letters universe starts off in. Our very first sighting of our main characters is a September night. So this month has all that first time, before it even … Continue reading Red Letters Lessons – WIP World Mood Board
Monday Music Lessons
What with the prior week on Woods, and this week's visual post, it feels like a good Monday to talk about themes and lessons with music. I listen to lyrics, and sometimes they sound like elevator pitches of the larger story, which is why Red Letters is so intertwined. If you are curious, I do … Continue reading Monday Music Lessons
