Which tense to use...
by Joy Author IconMail Icon
Have you all decided on the tense?
I'm going to use the present tense from the POV of the first person (protagonist). I am going to let her use the past tense when she recalls things in flashback. Facing November has become easier after this decision.
Also, I have never written an entire novel in the present tense before. This will give me enough challenge to keep me on my toes.
