The one I’ve lived with him.

Let's Talk About Kissing...
One of my favorite things about writing YA romance is the
kissing! I mean, who doesn't love a good kissing scene, am I right? It's the
moment we anticipate most after meeting the heroine and hero in the new story
we're reading. My Anna and Robert in GLIMPSES OF WILDERNESS share some
delicious kissing scenes...quite steamy, and well worth the wait! But the
actual sweetness of kissing sometimes gets lost in the translation, and that's
a shame. I always promise myself as a writer to remember the innocence of that
first kiss. This is one of my favorite blog posts from about a year ago, and I
want to share it with you. Long live the newness of kissing...
Just finished writing a "kissing" scene this morning,
and thought I would share something with you. I am a huge fan of Peter Pan (the
book, not only the Disney movie that everyone associates Peter Pan with),
because there is such beauty in innocence. One of my favorite lines from the
book is spoken by Peter, and it is this, "You know that place between
sleep and awake, the
place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you.
That's where I'll be waiting."
I also adore the "kissing" scene between Peter and
Wendy...
“I think it’s perfectly sweet of you,” she declared, “and I’ll
get up again,” and she sat with him on the side of the bed. She also said she
would give him a kiss if he liked, but Peter did not know what she meant, and
he held out his hand expectantly.
“Surely you know what a kiss is?” she asked, aghast.
“I shall know when you give it to me,” he replied stiffly, and
not to hurt his feelings she gave him a thimble.
“Now,” said he, “shall I give you a kiss?” and she replied with a
slight primness, “If you please.” She made herself rather cheap by inclining
her face toward him, but he merely dropped an acorn button into her hand, so
she slowly returned her face to where it had been before, and said nicely that
she would wear his kiss on the chain around her neck. It was lucky that she did
put it on that chain, for it was afterwards to save her life.
The sweetest kissing scene ever written, in my opinion! So,
remember people, sometimes kisses are thimbles, and sometimes they're acorn buttons.
And they might just save your life...
