I'm not married so I can't exactly relate to the kissing part, but I totally understand the parallel to writing. <br /><br />I was given an award yesterday that I am supposed to pass on to new blogging budies.

I tend to just let the words flow from my brain via my fingers and let the word fall where they may. Very thought provoking! Thanks.
