Having to choose which kissing scene to post for
the blogfest was maybe the hardest decision I've had to make in a long time concerning my own writing. I finally settled on this one though, because of the shorts I've been writing at
The Writer's Block. It just seemed fitting to keep the theme.
This scene isn't currently found in
The Book of Generations, but only because the book became too long and so I had to ruthlessly end it before I got here. That was another difficult decision.

What a great excerpt! I love the last line- I wrote something similar in my current work in progress.
ReplyDeleteNaughty, naughty, but so much fun to read- and write!
I love Kissing Day Blogfest!
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's kind of sad. I blame him, totally. He knew she was married. He had no right to kiss her! Shame on him!
ahem. Can't wait to read your excerpt!
Wow! Forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest. Or at least that's what they say. *licks fingers* Thanks for that excerpt. It was lovely.

ReplyDeleteThe ending got me!
ReplyDeleteKnowing now that it was forbidden makes the memory of it take on a new feel.
Aw. I can only imagine (and feel through what you've written) how hard it would be to be in that situation!!
ReplyDelete'Be still my beating heart,' comes to mind with this one. So romantic. Beautifully written and a true joy to read. Oh and most adult, no childhood fancy here. I love that.
ReplyDeleteWarm regards,
Simone.
