here and now versus then and there ... in that place where things already happened

[seraphcelene]

A stupid thing that I've realized is how my brain like to think that only 3rd person past is a "real" novel. So that even though third person present is what I like to write and mostly read, if I don't draft that way then I am failing.

Well ... I'm failing anyway. Struggling with a novel in 3rd person limited, past tense.

It's dumb.

I like the present tense, too!
