Can a mood board tell a story near enough to the original? This week my theme is Sinful Summer, and we mention the character Bebe who has some name recognition for many reasons. (IYKYK.) But, all legendary myths have a starting point, even if it's a request, a sharpie, and chocolate. The Red Letters universe … Continue reading Sinful Summer Charades

Daring Music Monday
Hi all, aside from the usual writing related music, I am keeping myself accountable. I'm querying out the book again this week. So, not only is it daring music for my characters, it's music to dare me to do it too. Even if I totally talk about them instead... There have been times I have … Continue reading Daring Music Monday
Sinful Summer Friday Fiction
This week I have a tiny short that hints at something I will call Red Letters Lore. There is always a first time, or the original idea takes root and we see it later, in bigger fashion in the legendary tales told. I am not sharing the first time just yet, because it's better in … Continue reading Sinful Summer Friday Fiction
Wildly Daring Mood
#WardrobeWednesday with my #WIP. July is my month of celebrations and restarts. What better way to show off being #WildlyDaring than with the most obvious transformation? For this character, dressing with purpose gave them confidence and a designer friendship too. Can you guess the two characters involved in today's post? First we have some very … Continue reading Wildly Daring Mood
Romanticizng a Rumba for Masterclass Music Monday
Final scene playlist. we've been through the tension, anger, memory and disregard so far. It's time for the softer parts. Their history of passionate love. Think bodies that remember how to rumba, how this word or touch breaks walls that they've been fighting through in the past two playlists. Think about those stares that don't … Continue reading Romanticizng a Rumba for Masterclass Music Monday
Fiction Friday Fragments
I'm working on sending out my query and finishing off other books in the series. So, I thought I could start sharing bits of the Red Letters world that helped build the story to me yet didn't make the books for one reason or another. This one I've fleshed out a bit more, so that … Continue reading Fiction Friday Fragments
Masterclass Paso Doble for Music Monday
Paso Doble is all about drama, a sense of confidence or power, and being strong enough to take on a bull (or other challenges.) So, what kind of playlist do you pull together for the rockstar and the queen who's trying to pretend she's icy? How do you survive appels that feel more like getting … Continue reading Masterclass Paso Doble for Music Monday
Triangular Music Monday – Quiet Side
So, it's Music Monday again. I've been teasing a new character that I won't name because I don't want bias in the series before it's read. And I don't want to leave the wrong impressions either. The Red Letters series is Women's Fiction. Which means it's about Tweety's journey more than the romances. So yes, … Continue reading Triangular Music Monday – Quiet Side
Setting A Scene With Music Mondy
This weekend, I worked on another plot point, and this time I have the jukebox quietly telling on characters. But what I wanted to say had a lot of options. First we have the type of dance song that Tweety might admit to. Maybe. Because our main character being honest with herself is not her … Continue reading Setting A Scene With Music Mondy
Memorial Monday Music
This Memorial Day weekend, while we remember the fallen, I started to think about the only character (so far) that I have written into existence and didn't simply write them off the screen.I will not name names for spoilers, but I will say that it is not a violent passing, more an age thing. And … Continue reading Memorial Monday Music
