My headline makes no sense. You know why? It’s about my stubborn characters - they’re kissing in the kitchen and I can’t get them out of there.
Trust me, I’ve tried. I’ve rewritten the start of this scene three - THREE!!! - times. This thing was just a flowin’ too. It’s a Christmas story, I’ve had so much fun writing it…until now.
Though this isn’t a kitchen, it is a public place and this couple can’t be having, ahem, carnal knowledge of each other in public. Well, they could but they’d get in big trouble.
I want my couple to have carnal knowledge of each other - and I don’t want them to do it in the kitchen. It’s not their style. They need to be in a bed, like this:
I think I need to rewrite the scene again and have it start somewhere else - not in the kitchen. Sigh…
This is the last day to leave a comment and be entered in my contest to win $5 Starbucks gift card and a bookmark! Whoo hoo!

A kiss can happen in a public area, even a super passionate one. But carnal knowledge? Not so much.
Get them out of the kitchen, girl!
Kimberly says:
What’s wrong with the kitchen…buy them a nice sturdy dining room table, hehe.
Really, I do hope you find a way to move them up to the bedroom.
Best,
Kim

Don’t you hate stubborn characters? I’ll have a plan for them and then they do the total opposite! But what they do tends to be better than what I’ve planned so I don’t punish them by hitting the delete button!
With Love,

Stacy Dawn says:
LOL….kissin’ in the kitchen!
Julie S says:
What’s so bad about kitchens? My characters do it in the kitchen. It’s a good place.
Kelley says:
Kissin in the kitchen is ok if its at home. Not the public place thing. Heres to hoping they agree with you and find a way to get out of the kitchen.
Cherie says:
Good luck getting them out of the kitchen.

Don’t you hate it when things are just flowing and then BAM! Something happens to stop the momentum.
Hope you get those characters where they’re supposed to be. :-)
joelle says:
Love that photo. really captures the emotions. Doesn’t matter where they are.
pearl says:
They are a gorgeous couple. Eventually they will leave and escape to the bedroom.
alissa says:
This kiss will develop and they will leave to continue in a more intimate setting.
ellie says:
This kiss represents their true love and very soon they will end up where they belong.
sharon says:
You have captured the scene perfectly. It no doubt is in a very special environment which will definitely lead to the apartment dwelling. It has a special atmosphere in the cafe.
Shelli Stevens says:
LOL Poor Karen. I’m not laughing at you. I’m laughing at your comments.
Cathy says:
how bout using the kitchen for a very heavy make-out session that continues all the way to the nearest bed.
Sharon J says:
Couldn’t he just pick her up and march out of the kitchen, Richard Gere style? Then he could plonk her on the bed and the two of them could bonk until their hearts are content.
Loribelle Hunt says:
Oh let ‘em have the kitchen.
Maybe then they’ll cooperate on a move to the bedroom lol!
Jill says:
So … did you get them out of the kitchen?
M.E Ellis says:
Hope you get it sorted!
