Is This A Kissing Book?

Ok...I don't want to be a girly-girl...but writing today was so fun!!!

Today was just going to be the meal that Bryn & Mer were eating, maybe followed by their meeting with Jules. However, I got into editing a couple of things, adding a sentence or two to what I wrote yesterday...and then I wrote a kissing scene.

<3

Ok, I know I'm being a huge girl about this...but it was adorable. I know, I know, poor Bryn & Mer...I'm such a voyeur. They were fighting over Bryn feeding Mer marshmallow salad (which is gross, btw), and then he got all smarmy and kissed her. Squee!

Well, if I'm being honest, he didn't get that smarmy. I'm really over books that make everything super smarmy...if people are into each other it's got to be all flowers and chocolate and fat cherubs with rosy diapers...ew. With Bryn & Mer I want it to be love, of course, but also lust (desire), honesty, equality...and no rosy diapers.

Either way, it was super cute to write...and honestly, FINALLY I get to write a kissing scene that isn't poisoned with betrayal. I think I'll have Mer waffle about that a bit, apologizing for the last time, and Bryn be all noble and say that he trusts her, etc. SMARM.

Anyway, writing has been going swimmingly...hopefully it can continue in this vein in my new job. Or after work. Whatever happens, I've got to keep on keeping on. What matters is the writing!

And speaking of...today I broke ninety-thousand words!

Out for now, time to do a bit of grocery shopping before curling up with a cup of tea (and, with dinner, maybe a Belgian beer) and Harry Potter V. Cheers!
