Just Kiss Already Blogfest Info


Valentine’s Day is almost upon us, and Christina Lee had a brilliant idea:


Why don’t we have a JUST KISS ALREADY BLOGFEST?


So here’s the deal, on Monday February 14th at 7 am EST, post an excerpt that is no longer than 250-words (it’s tiring to read long excerpts) in which there is actual kissing. No near misses allowed!

You can include a short intro if it’s really, really necessary, but the key word is SHORT.

It doesn’t have to be YA, and it can be an excerpt from an author you admire (just make sure you give credit where credit is due).

Just sign up with Mr. Linky below or on Christina's blog and check out 3-5 other posts involved in the blogfest (more if you like). It can’t get easier than that.

Oh, and don’t forget to spread the word. Thanks!

Any questions?

I love the idea of this blogfest!

Hannah Kincade said...

Love it! Though I've sworn of blogfests until April. They take up so much time and I really have to focus on writing since I've been slacking a bit.

Laura Pauling said...

Sounds like it will be fun reading. I'll have to read through my stuff and see if there is anything ready. Great idea.

Tracy said...

I LOVE kissing!

And I have the perfect scene in mind already. And thank you for stressing the SHORT sample factor!

Going to sign up now.

Great idea!

I'm already signed up to take part in the YAmore Blogfest over on Oasis for YA on the 11th. Obviously I don't want to do a repost a mere 3 days later so I wonder if it would be too much of a tease to have a near kiss on the Friday and the real deal on Monday. Or I may just have to come up with a new kiss scene especially. I must ponder on this!

Blogfests are a great idea to get to know other bloggers and I like that they've made them be short.

How funny. I'll have to look for a good one or write one maybe.

What a perfect idea for Valentine's Day, Stina and Christina. I mostly write for younger audiences, so haven't written a kissing scene. But I'll enjoy reading these!

250 words is just a little too short for me. But I'll enjoy reading the entries. ;-)
