When you're so used to writing F/F parings that when your MC's love interest is masculine aligned and uses he/him pronouns, you're always accidentally typing out her and then deleting it to put him.

It makes editing a lot longer than it needs to be lol

Funny writer thing about me: When I outline, it's basically me writing freeform, and fleshing out an idea or a character I had. No details. Putting down dialogue I know will slap, and thinking through logistics and the like. When I do that, I'm writing in present tense. Then when I go to actually write the story, I write it in past tense. Makes for a fun time because I end up mixing tenses. Fortunately, I don't mess up too much or I catch myself, but boy is it a weird ass quirk. That I will not change.
