Can we finish the month on silly gestures that mean something to someone? I'm talking the ones you (generally- exception made for characters who act like this all the time without fail) don't do to strangers because it's not considered polite, but with that one person they get it and why you do it. Like … Continue reading Tender Tuesday Tomfoolery

Thoughtful Thursday, Inevitably
This whole month dealt with our more unpredictable characters. So, let's think about their reckless feeling ways, and the choices that sound completely chaotic but actually have control in them. The outcomes are inevitable, the path there is the ride. A very basic writing example is that your character stops to change a tire. This … Continue reading Thoughtful Thursday, Inevitably
Purposely Tender Tuesday
Accidentally on purpose is just another way to say a fortunate outcome to your intent that didn't seem like it could end well. So for a tender day, I want to talk about sweet things you've done that you never admit was intentional. Like getting that "how did you know I needed this?" when you … Continue reading Purposely Tender Tuesday
Tender Impulse Tuesday
In an impulsive week, where chaos in general rules the month, what does tenderness and impulsive action look like? Random acts of care that aren’t about the outcome, just a quick reflex. Things like brushing your hair back while you're talking. Or how about if they grab hold of you during a rocky street or … Continue reading Tender Impulse Tuesday
The Misfit Arc of Thoughtful Thursday
I have a discussion topic for us this week. Yes, we are talking misfits and mayhem, but why is that so memorable? Is it because the misfit has a different past, that makes them have a journey we could take alongside them? Or is it because the misfit refuses to conform to fit in, and … Continue reading The Misfit Arc of Thoughtful Thursday

So, how are we going to talk about softness and tenderness in a spring fever chaos type atmosphere? Don't worry, I got ideas, or else I … Continue reading Chaotic Tender Tuesday
Appreciating You For You, Thoughtful Thursday
Can we talk about characters who genuinely appreciate each other for what they are? Not the she makes me stop and think or the he makes me feel free. That's the self centered part. I mean the things that you see that others have let go, and you don't make it about yourself or the … Continue reading Appreciating You For You, Thoughtful Thursday
Admiration And Tender Tuesday
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
