How do...

 ....I....

     .......know If the pacing....
Is right.

.......inmystories!?



(see what I did there?)

But seriously, I think pacing is my biggest issue. How does one know if one has paced a story too fast or too slow?

If your stories are like "Hi, i'm Christine!" and then you tear off your clothes and start fucking Josh, your pacing isn't very good. ;-)
Don't be in a rush to get your character get fucked. Let us get to know him or her first, ease us in. Give us some backstory on the character, a glimpse into what he or she is like.
Then have them doing an everyday thing. But don't rush it make it feel natural. You want your readers to be able to relate to your character, like your character, and be able to picture themselves as your character. So give us a chance to get to know him or her before fucking thier brains out. :P

Hey, how did you know the first line to my story  :o? You running some kind of spyware on my computer or something? I agree with your assessment though. The best stories have a lot of development with sex simply a part of them. I hate reading stories that make sex the sole focus of them or focus on it way too soon. A gradual development and buildup to the sex is always the best kind of pacing in my view.

You can lose your reader right at the start of your story if you haven't done all the right things.
