In YA books, a kiss is often a little more vague except in the racier YA novels). In a romance, there was a whole craft to writing about a kiss.

Each kiss from a different partner is different too. Some are sloppy, some tastes like you just had a smoke, others almost feels like they just patted you on the head, others want to skip the kiss and go right to it and others make you dream of luscious chocolate melting in your mouth and you want moreBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264371747287044302.post-197503086369514852014-04-12T13:48:14.067-04:002014-04-12T13:48:14.067-04:00Good luck!

Her skin felt soft as silk. She lowered the hand to my shoulder, replacing it with her lips. They kissed me once, twice, moved to my mouth and kissed me again. I kissed her back." - from my horror/romance flash fic "Her Eyes" available on MicroHorror.com<br /><br />Kissing really is an uncomfortable thing to write about, but for this story it had to be done for the ending to have the appropriate punch. I shall probably never write anything steamier, for moral reasons.Patrick Stahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690555802232025818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264371747287044302.post-21632147067962014272014-04-12T08:48:16.027-04:002014-04-12T08:48:16.027-04:00By the way--I also want to thank you for all of yo...By the way--I also want to thank you for all of your recent comments.

I'd love an excerpt! Kisses really should have meaning, I agree. If you just randomly toss them out there all over the place they become less special. Provide meaning for one? You have gold. Good luck doing that with six lifetimes--that's a tall order, but one I'm sure your capable of filling!randi leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207001299508931034noreply@blogger.com
