Blogging at Loose Ends today

Today was my first day blogging at the Loose Id author blog, Loose Ends. I wrote about why I like to read and write erotic romances.

I’d love for you to stop by and share your reasons for reading romance and/or erotic romance.

Why erotic romances? Is it more than sex & lust?

Many thanks,
Sloan

Quote I Love: Forgiveness

Here’s this week’s quote I love…

I’m getting closer to finishing my manuscript for Breathe. Today I finished another read through the final pages, making a few edits and tweaks hear and there, and I ended up in tears at the end. I love these guys, love their journey, love their relationship. I’m a sap. And a sucker for my own work. Not sure what that means, but I’m hoping it’s a good thing.

So for my quote today, I wanted to post a few of my favorites about forgiveness, a major theme in Breathe.

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”
-Mahatma Gandhi

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.”
-Lewis B. Smedes

“Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.”
-Paul Boese

Some things are more difficult to forgive than others, but sometimes we hold on to the smallest of slights and that does us more harm than we know. One thing I’ve learned through the process of writing this book is that I hope I can learn to forgive more easily.

Have a great day!

Video I Love: How to use a sex swing 101

Once a week, I post a video I’m loving. Here’s this week’s…

And no, there is no actual sex going on. It’s a fully-clothed demonstration. I had tears rolling down my cheeks watching this one.

I hope you enjoy it,

Sometimes, TV gets it right

Once a week I post about something I’m loving (tv, movies, books, art, photos, romances, authors, or anything else). So here is this week’s For the Love of…

I don’t watch Desperate Housewives anymore, but I was glad to see they recently had a happy ending for a lesbian couple. Robin and Katherine walked off into the sunset together (or rather Paris). I think some thought the storyline was over too quickly, but at least it didn’t end tragically or with a “I changed my mind” kind of a thing.

You can check out “Desperate Housewives” mini-cap: Sometimes, TV gets it right on AfterEllen.com.

Anyone watch the show? What did you think of the ending to their story?

Have a great weekend!
