Here’s this week’s quote I love from writer Victor J. Banis…
“…I can get those ideas anywhere and everywhere – sometimes at the most inconvenient times. I have actually been making whoopee with someone and had this killer bit of dialogue slip into my head. Talk about losing your focus!”

From Rick Reed’s blog series Why I Write
Almost spit my OJ on the keyboard with that one. Thanks for sharing, Victor.
Once a week I post a quote I love. It may be related to writing, inspiration, lgbt issues, my own life, or anything else that interests me. So here’s this week’s Quote I Love…
I’ve been working on revisions for my current work-in-progress, Breathe. Part of the goal of this last round of edits was to increase the romantic tension and build up the emotion in every scene.
Focusing on the love and desire in my work puts me in a romantic mood, so today I’m sharing some of my favorite quotes about love and passion.
Hope you enjoy these.
“And sometimes when we touch
The honesty’s too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides”
— Dan Hill
…
“You’re nothing short of my everything.”
— Ralph Block

“We are each of us angels with only one wing.
And we can only fly while embracing each other.”

“We lie in each other’s arms
eyes shut and fingers open and
all the colors of the world
pass through our bodies like strings of fire.”

Aren’t they lovely? Hope you enjoyed them.

“When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.”
Helen Keller
I’ve seen this quote many times over the years, and I still love it. This woman always amazed me. Nothing held her back. We should all be so brave and bold.

Once a week, I post a quote that I’ve read/heard recently. So here’s this week’s Quote I Love…
I’ve been re-watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer on DVD whenever I’m doing housework or other non-writing crap, er, I mean, activities. I just watched the episode where Willow and Anya chase down the troll Olaf. For those of you who have never watched Buffy, Anya is newly human. She tends to do and say some pretty awkward things. This part where she’s driving a convertible had me laughing:
Anya: Well, I don’t know how to put the top up. I only just figured out what the left pedal does! It makes us stop! (She slams on the brakes)
Willow: You don’t know how to drive? Why didn’t you say you don’t know how to drive?
Anya: Well, I couldn’t know if I could until I tried, could I?Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Episode: “Triangle”
I like that message…you don’t know what you can do until you try. Of course, for driving I’d recommend a driving class, but the sentiment can apply to lots of things in life. Never think you can’t do something until you at least give it a try and really see what you’re capable of first.
Just watch a baby learn to crawl or a little kid learn to ice skate. They don’t know the word “can’t.” They just keep trying.
So what have you always wanted to learn but were afraid to try?
Thanks for stopping by,
