@Nezchan Yes. not that big of a deal. But you need to ensure the story ASKS to be written in present tense. Don't just do it for a stunt. Best present tense novel I've read is William Gibson's Pattern Recognition.

@Nezchan i spent a few years writing everything in present tense! it’s definitely a shift, but it’s fun, and it makes you approach writing a little differently. i don’t think it’s suited for every story, but it works really well for some.
