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... Side note, Sly is a character in the WIP world. But there's a real person who had feedback in the OG draft that maybe ended … Continue reading Before Red Letters – Sly Before Soulful

Music Monday with Maestro Sly
This week's theme is Bar Backstories, and who better to lead this for us than Sly? We see how he becomes important in the series, but we don't see him before the Red Letters series picks up. He is also the late night host, the word wise guy, the music debater if you're there when … Continue reading Music Monday with Maestro Sly
Soulful Firsts For Fiction Friday
This week, I will share the other side of a big event. In our Red Letters series, this goes smoothly for the mains in book one, and we see some of this mood later when these characters come up in their own rights and the more current timeline in later books. I don't want to … Continue reading Soulful Firsts For Fiction Friday
Music Monday Tall Tales
This month we're talking about the bar world. For this Monday, I'm thinking about music that tells stories you might hear in a bar, with or without the beat behind it. 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!)
Backstage Red Letters – Woods Wardrobe
In July, I teased about Tweety's wardrobe. Today I'm bringing Woods energy at you. The before the fall theme means so much. It's the end of summer, but it's also a before shot of the story I tell. We see Tweety's side told. But Woods? He gets his time. Just not in a way that … Continue reading Backstage Red Letters – Woods Wardrobe

Aftermath – Hot Soulful Nights
If the book bar had a sign one could read, it might be this. Because the nights? Visuals don't do it justice. Clothes are optional, and replacement options are loudly hilarious. You should plan to party hard, or else you will be woefully unaware and in pain the next day... You may or may not … Continue reading Aftermath – Hot Soulful Nights
