@_damndani honestly just go with the flow. Stick with the main story genre like the characters past, other issues, or personal things involving them separately. It doesn’t always have to be about them together.
Although I don’t like too much in the beginning of the story, smut takes up a lot of space lmaoo. It really does help take up space in a chapter and who doesn’t love a good smut scene ;). I recommend adding smut after maybe 10-12 chapters, but you could always add in make out and teasing scenes.
You can always message me privately if you’d like more help, I would love to help!
