Their first touch was gentle, and in it Sumire could taste his hesitation and fear. That first kiss was a question, a request for permission, chaste and sweet and not a little shy. They broke apart for the space of a breath, noses still nuzzled against each other’s cheeks, their lips still clinging as though reaching for an answer.The Education of Sumire Min
“I…”
She captured that question before it escaped his parted mouth with her own, breathing her answer into his. He deepened the kiss, and she met his ardor with her own. For every little nudge she felt, she pressed back harder, and she felt his kisses like a wish from him, like begging, and she could only respond yes, yes, yes with her own longing. Yes, please, yes, yes, yes…
So I completely and utterly failed NaNoWriMo this year as I only managed to squeeze out about 18.5K. I don’t know how people can write more than 1000 words a day, every day. I just don’t. I burn out. On a good day I’ll get out about 1500 words, but the next day I’ll be reduced to 100 because my brain can’t function. So kudos to everyone to won this year!
But at least I managed to achieve one personal goal: which was to FINALLY write that damn makeout scene, excerpted here. So…huzzah?

Huzzah indeed!
And yeah, I’m like you. Usually when I peak (also around 1500 words) I flame out the next day. Or I can average 300-700 words as a steady pace. It’s not as exciting as these folks who can write a novel in 2 weeks (CRAZY!) but I’ll take it.

I’ve always known I was a slow writer, so I’m not entirely unhappy with the work I’ve put out. 18.5K new words brings my total wordcount up to over 50K, which I’m not going to sneeze at. I envy people who write with ease, but I’m such a deliberate writer: I agonise over diction too much to just let “crap words” (so to speak) on the page. I wish I could. But no, I sit there for 20 minutes, debating whether or not one word or another gets closer to the meaning I want to convey. *headdesk*

wish I could write 1k words a day!
But why wait ’til Nov to write the makeout scene? It’s probably one of the most FUN to write. Like eating ice cream before dinner. You know you’re gonna do it anyway ;-)

Ah, but I’m actually the person who eats ice cream after dinner. Anticipation only makes it taste sweeter. ;-)
