[Poll #1633332]In other news, HAPPY BIRTHDAY samena  and eanelinea77 ! May your days be excellent and filled with visits from the gift fairies and cake pixies!

And if anyone else out there is out of their tiny little minds with overwork: Agatha Christie, complex geometry, red lip gloss and slightly complicated knitting are all decent stopgaps until your brain has time to recover. One week, and I will be off having an adventure with no one expecting me to rescue anyone else's demented prose! If I am tremendously dilligent, I can even get a good lot of writing done and be a step closer to never editing again.

Well, never editing anything not written by friends or interesting fandom people, at any rate ...

I have enjoyed stories, and even a whole novel, in present tense. I don't recommend it as a way to write, though. When I first came to fandom, and hadn't written any fiction at all for 19 years, I thought I would try present tense. Ow ow ow. It's so hard! No character can have thoughts in the continuous past or everything explodes.

But it got me writing again to write that way, and if you need to do it the hard way in order to do it at all, I say, go for it!
