Admiration can be a foundation. As simple as I admire this trait, and I want to get to know this person better. That's how you move admiration from secret to potentially something more. But first, it all has to start somewhere. That somewhere isn't physical. Handsome or pretty don't last that long. A quirk or … Continue reading Admiration And Tender Tuesday

Unspoken Tenderness Tuesday
In a week with unrequited love elements, I have to wonder about why. What's the motivation for you to take a back seat to someone else. Why are you staying silent? Fear of failure? Knowing it's all in your head? You love them so much their happiness is more vital than your own? It's never … Continue reading Unspoken Tenderness Tuesday
Thoughtful Thursday – Chess vs Checkers
If you missed my (late night) post, today's thoughts come with something more than Red Letters chatter. And the best part? this theme still works for both series. That's right, another series is moving along, and Fractured Ever After is now LIVE ON WATTPAD! I'm publishing! Even though that's the biggest news of the week, … Continue reading Thoughtful Thursday – Chess vs Checkers
Charming Tender Tuesday
Let's talk slow burn seduction today, shall we? If it's slower, the story has to rely less on spicy hook ups and hot encounters that give pages of physical relations. The slow burns rely on the will they won't they. The can words really compete with actions. So, instead of instant anything, would you prefer … Continue reading Charming Tender Tuesday
Book Hangovers For A Very Thoughtful Thursday
The first book I ever wrote became the Red Letters series because I couldn't learn when to stop telling that story. Still can't, but at least it's shaped right now, and the staying in world gives us plenty of Fiction Friday content. So, today's Thought for Thursday is about Book Hangovers. That feeling when you … Continue reading Book Hangovers For A Very Thoughtful Thursday
A Tender Tuesday Gesture
A tender gesture, especially unconsciously? That's a different kind of heat. That's emotional warmth, and something you notice when it stops happening too. So what are you more hung up on? The soft forehead kisses? Or the memorized moves that get you your favorite drink or snack without saying you need it? Maybe it's the … Continue reading A Tender Tuesday Gesture
Pining For A Tender Tuesday
In a week we discuss the weight of feelings, today's question is simple but heavy. What kind of pining weighs more on you? Who do you feel for the most? The person who left for honorable reasons like career, timing, protecting you from their mess. They loved you enough to walk away so you could … Continue reading Pining For A Tender Tuesday
Numb Thursday Thoughts
Sometimes that hollow feeling, those burn out moments, leave you feeling numb. Out of it. Is that a form of protection? Is numbness a lack of vulnerability, or so much vulnerability that you've exhausted yourself? I write real characters who've gone numb. The PTSD mindset shows itself, and you see them power through because stopping … Continue reading Numb Thursday Thoughts
Nerve In Romance -A Tender Tuesday “Tell All”
Everyone talks about first kisses, but what about the nerve it takes for that first conversation? The choice to walk up and say hello somehow. To risk rejection before you even know if there's chemistry on both ends. The courage it takes to just start a conversation, not just the butterflies of new love. In … Continue reading Nerve In Romance -A Tender Tuesday “Tell All”
A Tender Holiday Tuesday
Another Tuesday, another chance to get to know each other. Today's conversation is about memories and how they shaped you. It's so weird, being full of memories. Of having traditions for years that your young self never saw changing. Your older self saw the signs, like the times an aunt would kneel down for something … Continue reading A Tender Holiday Tuesday
