Hello Folks! Welcome to Our Blog.

Writing a kiss scene in a romance novel isn’t the easiest thing to do, and many novice romance writers seem intimidated by the idea, as evidenced by the sheer number of searches online. If you are looking for a magic formula or recipe for perfection, you will not find it in this article. Writing a book involves hard work and there is no magic formula that can do it all for you. However, there are ways to make it easier. Here are some things every romance writer should consider before trying to write a good kiss scene.

1. Every romance novel is different. It has its own unique fragrance and yours has a bit of you. Did I say “a little”? I paraphrase: many of you in it. So that’s where you have to start: in you, with you. You can look to other writers for inspiration, but never try to copy what they have done. Start with your personal experience (and that includes your “kissing” experience). You must have felt or experienced something that no one else has experienced. Look for that little spark of uniqueness and try to put it into words. Preliminary exercise: Before you start writing the kiss scene for your romance novel, take some time to describe your best kissing experience in detail.

2. The kiss scene is not an isolated episode, something you just add because you know it has to be there. It is the effect of many causes, the organic result of a wide range of physical and emotional factors. That is why a good kissing scene will always have continuity with the rest of the story. Guide your readers down a path. Take them on a trip and make everything flow naturally. Nothing is worse than a scene that seems out of context or that doesn’t match the rest. Preliminary exercise: make a brief summary of all the little events leading up to the kiss scene.

3. Decide from the beginning how far you want to go. A good kiss scene, a love scene in general, does not have to abound in graphic detail. After all, romance is not pornography. Ask yourself this question: do you want to go for subtlety or a more crude approach? Do you want to bet on soft tenderness, violent passion or both? In a complex kissing scene, the protagonists can be carefully guided from one to the other. Preliminary exercise: write a few keywords, no more than 5, that describe the scene of your kiss (for example, tender, sweet, violent, passionate, unexpected, strong, shy, stormy, sensual, liberating, etc.)

4. The setting plays a very important role in a romance novel. A good setting adds richness, credibility, and magic to your scene. As in a painting, each tint of color is important. As in a symphony, every note matters. Colors, textures, smells, sounds – they all work together to create a rich tapestry that captivates and attracts the reader. Preliminary exercise: close your eyes and descend into the world of your novel. Imagine yourself in the place where the kiss scene is going to take place and describe everything as if you were there. Look for the smallest and most minute details. If necessary, take several trips and create something new each time. Write it all down.

5. The next step is to bring your hero and heroine to the scene. After all, they are what your story is about and the main reason your readers keep turning the pages. Think about how they got there. Go back to the same place again, but this time try to visualize them as part of the landscape. See their faces, clothes, gestures, moods, and attitudes. Describe them all in detail. Focus on your feelings and emotions. Try to identify with each of them and help the reader to identify with them as well. Preliminary exercise: write five sentences that describe your hero and another five that describe your heroine in this context.

6. Involve the five senses in your description. There are not enough words to emphasize the importance of the sensual element in a romance novel. Focus on what your protagonists see and hear, but also on the olfactory and tactile element, on what they can taste, smell and touch. Try to avoid cliches, opt for fresh and evocative images. Don’t shy away from metaphors and similes, but use them wisely and stay away from the obvious. Challenge your imagination to think of something more unusual (eg, instead of saying “her lips tasted like honey” say “her lips tasted like hot mulled wine” or “her lips tasted like orange, mango and cinnamon tea “, or” her lips tasted like latte with a hint of Baileys, “whatever, you get the idea. Preliminary exercise: Find two original similes for each of the five senses.

7. Focus on the movement and gestures of the protagonists, but also on their sensations, feelings and emotions. Every outer movement must have an inner counterpart. Everything that happens “outside” must echo “inside.” (eg, “His lips lightly brushed hers. His heart was beating wildly”). Preliminary exercise: Create two columns: one with “external events” and the other with “internal reactions”.

8. Building sexual tension is another deciding factor in writing the perfect kiss scene. Delayed completion triggers a stronger emotional response in the reader. Stretch it out as far as you can, take the tension to the point where it becomes unbearable. Does the love of your protagonists grow from a shy blink to a total glare? Extend that process; Make your readers crave more … Hit the “stop and start over” button. For example, you can let the kiss begin gently, tentatively, with the lips barely touching, as if the lovers are looking at each other in the dark. As the desire grows stronger, they go through a sequence of moments of holding on and letting go. They are lost and found again and again. With each step, the tension rises and the atmosphere heats up. So when the kiss scene finally reaches its climax, the reader will feel completely rewarded.
