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

Sinful Music Monday
Sinful Summer theme continues into this playlist. I'm thinking flirty dirty heat, innuendo spoiling treats, suggested sins to be had since it's a sweaty season anyway.... And what playlist could I possibly make for sinful sensations without including the very musician that when I see them, I see Woods? That's Woods, our main male, our … Continue reading Sinful Music Monday
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.

Wildly Daring Mood
Wardrobe Wednesday with my WIP. July is my month of celebrations and restarts. What better way to show off being Wildly Daring than with the most obvious transformation?

How do you survive appels that feel more like getting … Continue reading Masterclass Paso Doble for Music Monday
Celebrating Fiction Friday
Red Letters is set in a bar in the USA, so of course the short world related story for the Fourth of July would include fireworks of all kinds. And our favorite characters who shouldn't play with fire in the first place. And though it might not be a loud backyard barbecue type story, it's … Continue reading Celebrating Fiction Friday

A Prideful Music Monday
June is Pride month, and it feels right to highlight the one character that my readers might fall in love with who won't respond in kind. Sly is our other host, the wise one, and something of a Bibliophile or a Sapiosexual on the surface. But, under his calm stoic ways, Sly is someone who … Continue reading A Prideful Music Monday
Thoughtful Thursday Impressions
May we will talk about memories, and to ease into it, why not talk about what makes a character memorable. Is it something shocking they do? A rare tenderness? A wit or charm that sticks with you after the pages end? Why them? Why does that book sit with you more than others? That's the … Continue reading Thoughtful Thursday Impressions
Spotlights, Music Monday, and Cover Control
Spotlights shine lights on features, while controlling the cover story hopes you don't notice some things. Both are important if you are a (fictional) celebrity, trying to have a personal life while being recognized often. So today's playlist highlights some lesser sung about body features and why it's alluring. Or the choice is about covering … Continue reading Spotlights, Music Monday, and Cover Control
