I am spending today with my family, the real one outside the writing world, but I still think about the bar world. So, here's some versions of what the Red Letters crew is getting to unwrap between today and tomorrow. Woods gets a guitar pick, personalized for his brand/band. Frost gets a giant mug for … Continue reading Winter Wonders On Christmas Eve
Red Letters
Seasonal Music Monday
In the themes of the month, we've talked about frosted feelings, white nights and silly special friends... winter wonders that have something worth keeping. Today, I have that family holiday playlist for those enjoying the idea that found family can be a gift wrapped with care shortly before the new year. The lyrics hit the … Continue reading Seasonal Music Monday
Snowy Soulful Friday Fiction
Sometimes the holiday season isn't the most important part. The weather alone can set a scene, make a mood, force a conversation or a containment. One bed and one room forces it more, but a good snowy night and your favorite bar setting? Can make it something worth keeping... The tangible gift is just a … Continue reading Snowy Soulful Friday Fiction
Silly Music Monday
I know my last posts talk about Hallmark magic and white knight kinda guys, but today? I haven't forgotten the ones who prefer a guy that makes them laugh more than those slow burn steamy types. I mean, if you've been reading here long enough, you've seen Deej, right? If Deej and his jump inside … Continue reading Silly Music Monday
A Red Letters, White Knights Mood
Today's mood board gives some shapes to our week theme of those Red Letters White Knights. Because there is always going to be a type of person you gravitate towards when you need someone. For instance, if you are a bold type, you might set your sights on Sly or Remmy. Both are more studied … Continue reading A Red Letters, White Knights Mood
Knights Of Tender Tuesday
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
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 been known to don my elf hat and sneak some surprises on people, though, we are a bit older and no longer leave shoes outside for this. I have also had a … Continue reading Music Monday St. Nick Style
A Soulful Holiday Feast
Stateside, I am getting ready for Thanksgiving, in the month of writing. So, what better time to invite you to a Soulful feast Red Letters 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
