So use Mr. Linky and list your blog address so that we stop by and read your sigh-inducing kissing scene! If you are wondering what The Official Kissing Day is all about, I've included info below to get you up to speed.
Join in the fun and we'll stop by and see you Monday!
Official Kissing Day Blogfest
Monday, December 21st
A Writer's Tribute to Mistletoe
Here is what to do if you want to participate in the Official Kissing Day Blogfest:
- Write a post telling about the Official Kissing Day Blogfest. This way more writer/bloggers will get the word and be able to participate on Monday, Dec. 21st.
- Tweet about it, using the hash tag: #kissingdayblogfest (I don't know if this will help get the word out, but I thought it might be fun to try.)
- On Monday, December 21st, post on your blog an excerpt from your current WIP, or write a new scene that spotlights a kiss or an "almost kiss".
- If you are not a writer, or are uncomfortable sharing your work online, post your favorite kissing scene or almost-kissing scene from any book or movie.
**Please note that you do NOT have to do #1 or #2 to participate. I was trying to think of a way to get more writers to join in on the fun, but it is NOT mandatory! Just post your kissing scene on Monday for our reading pleasure!
Yay! I can't wait to read everyone's posts :)
ReplyDeleteI am so excited!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be pure bliss, on a Monday, I never thought it possible.
ReplyDeleteMonday can't come soon enough! Choosing a scene was hard, but totally worth it.
ReplyDeletei'm all over this. seriously. so much fun! great idea. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to it. I've just got to pick a kiss, because I actually posted my WIP's kiss. I'll have to pick a different one, but I've got a few to choose from.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read everyone's scenes on Monday! Thanks for signing up! You guys are going to make Monday FABULOUSLY SNOGGY!
ReplyDeleteI've got two possible scenes so I must choose before Monday. Such a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteOoo...which kiss to pick? I'm in - this will be fun! :-)
ReplyDeleteAck - typed too fast the first time, wrong URL. #10 is wrong...#11 is correct. Sorry about that! To bed now...
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo! I'll be there!
ReplyDeleteYou're awesome Sherrinda!!!! I'm all linked up, now just have to decide which kiss to use. Ugh, decisions decisions!
ReplyDeleteFound this on Kaye Dacus's blog and wanted to join in on the fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!
Cheers,
Heidi
What an awesome idea! Super excited to read all the kissing scenes.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm sooo ready. And I never thought I'd say that about a Monday:)
ReplyDeleteThis is SUCH a good idea!
ReplyDeleteSounds adorable! I don't know if I can decide on a scene in time and participate, but I'll definitely be checking out the other posts. Great idea! :)
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this before, but it sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait! For the first time in history, I'm looking forward to Monday. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in :D I didn't blog about it since I just signed up, but I posted about it at my online writing group, so you might get a couple more from there.
ReplyDeleteOh dear lord....I can't believe I just signed up....what have I done???
ReplyDeleteIt's already Monday here. Does that mean my post will be one of the firsts. That's a lot of pressure.
ReplyDeleteThank yall so much for signing up! You all are going to make the day so much fun!
ReplyDeleteJade...it's already Monday??? Wow! I suppose you WILL be first! No pressure though! lol
Storyqueen!!! You made me laugh! Have no fear. We all love to sigh at a kiss, so whatever you post, everyone will LOVE!
This is SO cool :-) what a fantastic idea!! I'm in
ReplyDeleteStretching me past my comfort zone- but I love a challenge! I'm in ladies.
ReplyDeleteYay for boldness! I'm so psyched about these posts tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteMy post is already up. Living in the future has it's advantages. I wish the rest on the world would hurry up and catch up. I want to read others!!
ReplyDeleteOoooo, I'm heading on over! I tried earlier, but it wasn't showin up yet! Mine will post in another 4 hours. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is SO fun!!! I can't wait to read all the kissing and can't wait to post mine. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteSherrinda,
ReplyDeleteThis is a GREAT idea. I was going to do this on my website in February for Valentine's Day, but Mistle Toe, Kissing, and Christmas just seem to go together.
I'll post it later in the day after people have had sufficient time to take in Ruthy's words on wisdom on my website tomorrow :-)
blessings,
Pepper

I'm super excited for this, but also terrified! It will be the first time I've posted anything that I've written! I can't wait to read everyone's posts! ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great idea! I can't wait to read them all tomorrow. Sadly I cannot participate as my book is middle grade and as much as I want them to kiss my characters still kinda believe in cooties. At least I can get my romance fill from everyone else.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog by the way and while I'm not sure how I've missed you all this time, I'm SO glad I found you now. Hope you don't mind that I'm following now (I assure you, I mean that in the non stalkerish sense of the term). :)
Now Shannon, I'm thinking that you could surely post a funny scene about a boy "trying" to kiss a girl (or a girl trying to kiss a boy) and let the cootie-scream ring for all to hear! lol ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I would love for you to follow me...if you don't mind that I will follow YOU!
Wow, I can't believe there's so many signed up!!! LOL I believe you and Katie have started something HuGE! LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm all signed up and the post is ready to go in the morning!
ReplyDeleteThis is too, too fun!
I found out about this thanks to Frankie! Mine will probably be small, but I have a few scenes to choose from so yay!
ReplyDeleteI just so excited about the great participation! Isn't it funny how we just love kisses? We want to write them, read about them, and...do them? lol Can't wait for tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about this, Sherrinda, but I'm jumping in anyway!
ReplyDeleteI caught this on Katie's blog and it does sound like fun, so I'm in. Looking forward to checking out everyone's scenes.
ReplyDeleteI signed up! Great idea, Sherrinda!
ReplyDeleteI caught this on Jennifer's blog and signed up! Fun idea! (I had to search for a kinda clean kiss, though, since my mom reads my blog!)
ReplyDeleteThis is so FUN!
ReplyDeleteI just linked my smooch! I can't wait to read all the other entries when I get back home from Christmas shopping.
ReplyDeleteHad to join the fun, though I think my MIL reads my blog, so I'm a wee bit nervous about this!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun idea, I felt compelled to participate despite the lack of romance in my soul and my last minute sign-up. :)
ReplyDeleteSo fun!
ReplyDeleteRight I'm in. So thrilled. Thanks a ton.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally late, but this is sooo exciting! I can't wait to read everyone's posts!
ReplyDeleteOkay! I did it too! except I added a stolen kiss and then the punishment from the antagonist and NOT the hero. Just for something different...
ReplyDeleteThis is so much fun! Thanks!

This is amazing, Sherrinda! I can't believe all the people who signed up. It's going to take me forever to visit everyone, but I don't want to miss any smooches, or almost smooches.
ReplyDeleteHoly look at all the participants and the comments! From a tiny conversation between you, Katie and I this sure did grow!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was fine. Great idea :)
Wow! Your almost-scene was awesome. I have a couple of those too, in different books. I agree with you, they're almost as good as the real thing, if not better!
ReplyDeleteJenni
It's in there. A bit late, but it's in there. Tough choosing between two kissing scenes, though.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to do this so bad and I just got in under the wire, yes! This was an awesome idea by the way, thank you. :)
ReplyDeletePosted mine, for what it's worth. ;) This was a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling very technology challenged after using Mr. Linky. But such a cool idea! I think I linked to the wrong person though. I'll go fix that in my post.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun!
I jumped in late! (forgot to post a link here)Hope that's okay!
ReplyDeleteI'm a day behind so I back dated my post. :) Ha ha. What a wonderful idea! Can't wait to read!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Too bad I'm late to the game! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late, but please come read and comment on my official kissing day post! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
