Villainous Music Monday
Since it's spooky season, with attention on psychopaths, sadists, manipulators and all other manor of wickedness found in horror films, what better month to talk about Red Letter villains?

Intentionally Disguised As Music Monday
Since this week's writing theme is about intentions, and we are still discussing disguises, I felt like it needed to be a different kind of Music Monday. A side you haven't seen of me or my characters... Masquerades can be freeing, releasing inhibitions and allowing for deeper desires. Or, they can be the masks we … Continue reading Intentionally Disguised As Music Monday
Falling For Music Monday

After all, Tweety isn't our only unreliable narrator... What if short moments that make or don't make the main story are inspired by song … Continue reading Music Monday Tall Tales
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!)
