Past Tense & Present Tense Blunders

I would correct them now before writing that way becomes a habit. But really, just have fun. Try to find your self-confidence and enjoy what you are doing.

I think most people probably suffer from this at least a little bit. Pick a tense (almost always past tense) and be consistent. My preferred method is to write my story down and then go back and read it aloud. The tense changes (along with a zillion other things) will stick out to you and you just correct them then. Good luck! mobdro

I've recently become interested in the reasons/methods writers use in regards to switching tenses. I was wondering if you might recommend some further reading on the topic. vidmate.app stream videos

Thomas Harris' Hannibal Rising and others of the Hannibal saga switch tenses from present past to present during scenes where a sociopathic character perpetrates a deviant behavior.

I strongly recommend past tense, unless you're writing for children (the rest of us generally find present tense annoying).

Hey, don't worry, you're not alone! Mixing tenses is super common in drafts. It's all about getting your ideas down first. You can tidy up later during editing. Keep pushing through!

Switching between past and present tense inconsistently can confuse readers and weaken your writing. Stick to one tense unless there's a clear reason to shift—like flashbacks or describing universal truths. For example, avoid saying, 'She walked to the park and enjoys the view.' Instead, keep it consistent: 'She walked to the park and enjoyed the view.' Consistency helps create a smooth, engaging narrative. واتساب الذهبي
