For me, romance requires more thought. Lemon flows easier, it's more a question of making things heat up and visualizing what's happening. Romance, well I keep worrying about crossing the line into cheesy stuff. I usually put a lote more care to romance stories than to lemons. They have to be balance just so for the relationship, the feelings, to seem real and not fake.
I struggle a lot with the crossing between friendship and romance. Not whith the moment the feelings come to light and the characters act on it but with the process when the character's feelings change or evolve. I find it challenging to make that process seem believeable.
I like writing romance a lot, but as I said, it requires a lot more care. I couldn't write romance drabbles as hurried as I do smut for pervy_potluck for example.
