Or kissing. Many writers figure out that they're being seduced or flirted with if someone is actually kissing them.","author":"Neil Gaiman","tags":["seduction","writers"],"id":57106,"author_id":"Neil+Gaiman"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":79,"pages":8,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
