Today I got to thinking about what a tender version of the white knight trope might be. Not some "I'll save you from yourself so you don't have to think" damsel in distress story. No. But... how can someone still have the ability to "save" someone without taking their autonomy? My answer? Holding space. It's … Continue reading Knights Of Tender Tuesday
Red Letters
Magical Music Monday
Friday we talked about feelings, and Wednesday we talk about (k)nights, so this Music Monday is quite perfect for that magical winter spell that makes romance movies, and makes Hallmark Christmas movies seamless. I don't say I'm up there with Hallmark, but I do think there's a song for all your romantic moods, snow or … Continue reading Magical Music Monday
Frosted Feelings This Fiction Friday
There's this casual mention of Christmas outfits in the first book. So today's fiction is a little more of that. Some frosted feelings if you will, and of course they are wrapped with care. It's a longer bit of story, my seasonal gift to you all. A little bit of all the characters we know … Continue reading Frosted Feelings This Fiction Friday
Music Monday St. Nick Style
If you have followed long enough, you know I'm a big fan of the December 6th tradition of St. Nicholas Day.

I have also had a … Continue reading Music Monday St. Nick Style

I like to let you dream up what the characters look like, so it's a bit abstract, but there's always a seat open at the bar or the table … Continue reading A Soulful Holiday Feast
Craving A Music Monday
In America, it's the month we talk about family, and think about food. Which means it's a perfect week to think about cravings and what they might really mean. What do you want? Is it a full stomach with delicious foods? The warmth of comforting people and relaxation? Do you crave heat of a different … Continue reading Craving A Music Monday
Quiet Company For A Fiction Friday
This Fiction Friday is important to me. Not just because it's a Sly and Tweety story and I love writing them because Sly is based off a friend of mine. It's also my late mother's birthday. If you have followed me long, you might recall that the loss was the reason I took a break … Continue reading Quiet Company For A Fiction Friday
“Discussing” Music Monday
This week we have Sly and Tweety talking late at night about music... In a month of families, feasts, and inevitably debates. But these two? Oh you would never hear either of them say they fight. Never. Except... Well... What do you call your spirited discussions on your music opinions, readers? Let me know in … Continue reading “Discussing” Music Monday
Warm World Wednesday
In the Red Letters world, warmth and family are a given, but it wasn't always that way. The main characters have traumas that make simple things hard. So, wanting found family time around the fire or snuggly things might seem easy, but that's a whole mood board for a few of our favorite characters...
Found Family Music Monday
In this month of togetherness, and found family values, today's list gives us a sense of what we can expect from our found bar family at least. You, the reader, can hopefully feel this in the world too, like you're people watching and deciding if you want to join this loud character family. In this … Continue reading Found Family Music Monday
