In reply to: Curious 's message, "Story Inspiration Sources (Relaunch)" on 03:11:00 03/06/22 Sun

These two quotes come from a 'Fantasy Romance Novel' a friend mentioned that had some smoking in it. They are presented for any author (Azilwen, Bazzle, BlackLungLover, Mac001, MicGio, RuEmerald, S or any of the other active authors remaining...) who might draw inspiration from them.

The first quote is the Female Romantic Lead (Non-smoker sadly) describing herself to the Male Romantic Lead.

"Resistance is all I have. It's who I am. Besides, I don't mind a good fight."

The second is that bit of smoking, it turns out the mother of the Male Romantic Lead smokes, this is the best of that.

"'To hell with it.' (Thoughts)

She dug through her drawer and lit another cigarette. They helped calm her, kept her focused on one train of thought at a time. Already too many conversations were spiralling through her head...

'Stay in the present' (Thoughts)

She took a long slow drag and indulged in another slow exhale.

Presently she was quite pissed." (In this context very angry rather than drunk, sorry Bazzle.)
