    Does anyone have any tips on writing a Christian novel while having teen romance in it? (Nothing explicit ovi, I don't write or read those types of romance books)

    Very tough... I'm guessing the setting is modern? I feel a modern setting leaves less room for creativity. I mean you can but I'm feeling a little restricted from leaving you an honest suggest since I don't really know the setting or what your rough plot is (you can pm of you want to talk about it more in depth)

    The key is in the tension, or even better, yearning. This can make even the smallest physical parts of the romance (like a kiss, or even just holding hands or getting together) hit HARD. To successfully do it both characters need to have legitimate reasons to not get together, maybe its past prejudices, or it could be a difference in worldview that they have to overcome. This means that when they eventually realize their feelings for each other, these barriers prevent them from doing anything for a good long while (rlly drag this bit out lol so the payoff hits). Other then that, pacing and good plotting is very important to creating a good romance

    Something like the book better then the movies is a good example of that tension if you want to take a look (though i'd deff search it up to make sure its something your comfortable reading)

    Hope this helps :)
