In the book world, Soulful bar and nightclub already existed before Tweety and the crew found it and helped revamp it into the next version of it's life. So, what kind of life did this bar have?

Sly Before Red Letters Fiction Friday
The final installment in the Sly feature is a little alluring lore about the legendary myth himself. As always, I try to leave it as fragments of fiction, giving you the scene but not the whole book. Sly especially is a character you get to know over time through other people's perceptions of his actions. … Continue reading Sly Before Red Letters Fiction Friday
Before Red Letters – Sly Before Soulful
Wardrobe Wednesday with the very stoic Sly! I promise it will be more than his only black suit. The milkshake habit and need for written words came from somewhere too...

And it would be completely unfair of me to have a … Continue reading Lessons Taught In The Middle

Monday Music Lessons
What with the prior week on Woods, and this week's visual post, it feels like a good Monday to talk about themes and lessons with music. I listen to lyrics, and sometimes they sound like elevator pitches of the larger story, which is why Red Letters is so intertwined. If you are curious, I do … Continue reading Monday Music Lessons
Backstage Red Letters – Woods Before The Fall (Fiction Friday!)
For today's Fiction Friday, I invite you to consider what 5 minutes changes. 5 minutes could mean missing the accidents, or catching the lights and transportation. In this case? Today's short story is Red Letters Lore, but also begs the question of what happens if Woods waited just 5 more minutes that night. Because his … Continue reading Backstage Red Letters – Woods Before The Fall (Fiction Friday!)
