It's done. I mean I still have to polish it, and run it by my editor, but the whole story is out of my head and onto the screen. It came in at over 32k words, the longest thing I've ever written.
Which brings up a new question for Romance authors. Should I publish it as one long 9-10 page story? Or should I break it out into chapters? I know there are other threads specifically about this topic, and I've read them, but I'm curious about the perceptions of Romance authors.
Personally, as a reader, I don't usually start any story over 3 pages unless I have a good reason to think I'll like it. And the Romance stories I've read on Lit have all been multi-chapter with short chapters. So I'm kind of tempted to go that route. On the other hand, when my attempt at Sci-Fi grew to 6 pages, I was assured by Sci-Fi authors that Sci-Fi readers have patience with longer one-part stories and actually prefer them. Do Romance readers feel the same?
Any thoughts or advice are welcome. Thanks.
