Which writing resource could you not live without? The read aloud function has been life changing for me when editing, so definitely that one #writingq #WritingCommunity

That sounds like just my style

I’m going to check it out

Thanks for the new reference!

I’ve read that one, but it has been a long time

I need to read his books.

How do you like it so far?

Ive thought the same thing about past tense.

09.03.2026 19:00 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

I usually prefer past tense as well

09.03.2026 19:00 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Present tense is really hard

09.03.2026 18:59 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

I love past tense as well

09.03.2026 18:58 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

If you do it, let me know how it goes

I’m writing in present now in my novel and I always slip back into past tense without realizing it

09.03.2026 18:57 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

That’s very true. I’m actually using present tense now in a novel. I haven’t done that in forever

I’m trying first-person for the first time in a while. It is really hard because of what you’ve mentioned here

I can relate to both, but especially sex scenes

09.03.2026 18:54 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Because of keeping track of everyone?

09.03.2026 18:54 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

It totally is!

09.03.2026 18:53 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

That’s a really good point

09.03.2026 18:53 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

I think past is easier too

09.03.2026 18:53 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Haha! I’m the exact opposite

What’s the hardest thing to write well in your opinion? #writingq #WritingCommunity

09.03.2026 16:59 πŸ‘ 12 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 5 πŸ“Œ 6

Do you feel just as confident using past tense as you do present tense in your stories? Present tense is starting to grow on me #writingq #WritingCommunity

That makes sense

My old-fashioned thesaurus that’s falling apart

Not too much. Not too little.

Which writer do you admire most for his/ her balanced description? I’m looking for some additional models/examples #writingq #WritingCommunity
