Is it hard to decide if the time period is too long, if the level of sexiness is bland, and if the whole plot is boring? However, people start writing romances that they wouldn’t want to read.
Suppose the story somehow finds its end, but due to a less enthusiastic approach, the first reader of the book becomes the last: the editor.
