Sometimes that hollow feeling, those burn out moments, leave you feeling numb. Out of it. Is that a form of protection? Is numbness a lack of vulnerability, or so much vulnerability that you've exhausted yourself? I write real characters who've gone numb. The PTSD mindset shows itself, and you see them power through because stopping … Continue reading Numb Thursday Thoughts

Mood – New Nerve
For today's mood board, I give you a glimpse at Tweety's new year resolutions. Some for better business mind, some for more fun. And some that take courage to move on from the past.
A Fiction Friday, That You Meant At Midnight…
Today's Fiction Friday is about the things you meant at midnight on new years, but that maybe didn't last. Like breaking your resolution in the first week or not surviving the first month. You meant to, you wanted to make it work, but it just... didn't work out the way you planned and hoped for. … Continue reading A Fiction Friday, That You Meant At Midnight…
New Year, New Nerve
Hello dear reader. For this Thoughtful Thursday, I feel it's only right to share my commitment to another year with you. 2025 I committed to coming back, to coming out of the bad life changing years and finding my way back to myself and my joy of writing. 2026 is the year you guys will … Continue reading New Year, New Nerve
A New Year For Music Mondays
This is the last Music Monday of 2025, so of course we're treating new years like it's another week long party. But it's also a chance to tell the hopeful story of the next year too, because I like writing slow burn romances and they take a minute to get from meet cute to mine. … Continue reading A New Year For Music Mondays
Winter Wonders On Christmas Eve

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
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
