Um, wow.<br /><br />I think Valarie is so right, it's difficult to write the kiss from first person with lots of lovely descriptions.<br /><br />I struggle too. A LOT.Mia Haysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041441666482084762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-4564207174570240292010-08-18T10:35:35.864-04:002010-08-18T10:35:35.864-04:00I think you're completely right.

It does not help that I hate overly descriptive kissing to begin with, either...<br /><br />you should try it sometime. it's completely annoying! :)Amalia Dillinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005039978668326144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-77786388458413170132010-08-18T10:31:27.879-04:002010-08-18T10:31:27.879-04:00The thing about first person, I think, is that you...The thing about first person, I think, is that you almost have to be an actor and get into character while you're writing. It's a little bit confessional, more emotionally direct, where with third person it's more voyeuristic and easier to be distant as a writer. If you don't like, say, talking about kissing people, then writing about it in the first person may be tough as well.<Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148970927473800732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-71949230010035971422010-08-18T01:33:14.467-04:002010-08-18T01:33:14.467-04:00I don't have that much trouble with it, except...I don't have that much trouble with it, except in this situation. In fact, now that I'm writing in it a little bit, I'm having a hard time slipping back out into third. haha. <br /><br />I will probably keep the citrus, somehow, if I can manage to write a kiss that doesn't sound dumb!Amalia Dillinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005039978668326144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-39152554487623318922010-08-18T01:31:42.656-04:002010-08-18T01:31:42.656-04:00First person has always given me fits.

I might attempt it for Book #3, but it just feels awkward. <br /><br />BTW- I loved the orange taste detail- that's wonderful!Stephanie Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437077559099315853noreply@blogger.com
