It is almost mistletoe season, so pucker up. Kisses are wonderful, powerful even, and are especially important in YA literature. But how to write those all important kissing scenes? Here's a few sites that just might help your characters to lock lips.

Warning this last site is a bit steamy!!!

A short summary:
1. Be somewhat descriptive & include the five senses
2. Show not tell (give us the character's POV)
3. Give us the meaning behind the kiss (POV can help with this)
4, Most of all - Have fun!
Happy Writing!!!
