Jon Sparks#WritersCoffeeClub 4/4: Do you switch between past and present tense? How do you make it work?
I’ve written a lot of experience-based articles in present tense, including some that I’ve resurrected on Substack. Yet I have a mild aversion to fiction written in present tense. I can’t readily explain this anomaly.
I fiercely dislike flipping between tenses in the course of a narrative and unless there’s a very clear rationale, I’ll probably put the book down.
