Hello there,
So, I've been having this constant nagging feeling that my romances are taking too strongly to the "slow" part in slow-burn. I don't feel right hoping into a romance without some relationship build-up so I tend to start my stories with a childhood part before entering the adult stage of their romantic story. But currently, I'm at about 34K with the characters still in their childhood act with a couple more stages to go before they become adults. I keep telling myself that I'm doing this to show where they started, where they came from, and what went wrong before the climax of the story but I'm worried that just staying in my own head is just making a dull reading experience. What do you guys think? When does a slow-burn become too slow to bear?
