Tense

Past tense and present, its difficult sometimes to transfer between the two sometimes.

Present.
Always.
When I try to write in past I always revert back to present without even realizing it.

I find that when I write drabbles I write in present tense, but usually for stories I write in past.

I tend to use present tense, it just seems easier to me.

Heart.In.Ohio.:

Present.
Always.
When I try to write in past I always revert back to present without even realizing it.

That's what I do sometimes, so I just stick to present.

I switch between past and present, I just suck at it.
I'll begin to write a story in present tense, and when I'm re-reading it, I realize that halfway in I've started to write in past tense instead.

Anyone who is good with present tenses could you PM me

I find past more comfortable.

Past.

Always.

It feels weird to write in any other tense.

Past, usually. Sometimes present.

I am so terrible with tenses, I don't usually think about it to be honest.
I just try to write what sounds best.

But I always write in the past, I find it so difficult to write in the present for some reason.

I usually write in past tense, because whenever I write in present tense it ends up being one big, long ramble.

I never really pay much attention to it. I usually use past, I guess, but I always jump the line between past and present.

I've almost always written in past tense. When I try to write in present tense, I find it hard since I'm always accidentally switching back to past tense.

Present is what ends up happening the most, but somehow i always start out in past and work my way to present.

Past tense. I'm so engrossed in past tense, I got angry at my friends shirt. It read:
"The leprachauns make me do it."
Then I went on to try to correct her shirt, saying that it should be 'made' not 'make'.

Past. Though I have this bad habit of changing to present all of sudden, and reverse when having decided to write present tense, meaning it all of sudden change in the middle of story.

Which drives girlchild mad

^ It totally does.

I don't have a preferred tense. When I started writing, I used to write in the past tense only. But nowadays, I like both the past and the present tenses, depending on the story. Sometimes the past fits, sometimes the present.

Present. It's more immediate and engaging to me.

I used to always write in past tense.

The Aviators is written in 1st person present tense though.

I can't do third person in present tense though. Better in past tense.

I think it depends on if I want the viewer to be outside or inside. If they should be outside, past works much better and if they should be inside [the character's head] present is best.
