Gorillaz "The Mountain, The Moon Cave and The Sad God".

Graphic titled with light yellow background and blue lines. Texts at the center read "One shot, two shots bts fest", "Writing Tip Thursday" and "Tenses: Past and Present". Rest of the text read "The default tense choices for storytelling are: 1. narrative: past tense, 2. dialogue: present tense, 3. backstory: past perfect tense." Followed by "1. reflection and history: Past tense creates a narrative space that allows for deep introspection and reflection. 2. Backstory and context: Past tense is an excellent vehicle for delivering backstory or historical context. 3. Time manipulation: The past tense allows you to compress or expand the way you represent time in your story. 4. narrative control: All three aspects help both writers and readers feel more in control." Followed by "1. sense of immediacy: Present tense gives readers the feeling that they are witnessing the events at the same moment as the characters are experiencing them. 2. Connect with characters: The present tense can help establish a direct bond between the reader and the characters. 3. Driving action: The immediacy of the present tense can contribute to a heightened sense of tension and urgency. 4. Character-driven storytelling: Present tense is particularly suitable for exploring a character’s consciousness or internal thoughts." Two beer mugs at the lower left corner.

Graphic titled with light yellow background and blue lines. Texts at the center read "One shot, two shots bts fest", "Writing Tip Thursday" and "Tenses: Past and Present". Rest of the text read "General Guidlines:" "Do not shift from one tense to another if the time frame for each action or state is the same." "shift tense to indicate a change in time frame from one action or state to another." and "Establish a primary tense for the main discourse, and use occasional shifts to other tenses to indicate changes in time frame." Followed by "but why do i keep mixing up tenses in my writing?" "When you are writing in present tense and suddenly shift to past tense without noticing, it is mainly because you subconsciously revert to the tense you are exposed to frequently. Past tense is more common and traditional in novels, hence the switch without notice. Another reason could be that there is a mix up between narrative and dialogue when writing. Commonly, narratives are written in past tense and dialogues are written in present tense. Also, writers can get mixed up with the timeline. One large contributor to this is writing chunky flashback scenes. To avoid inconsistency, make sure that you know and stick to your choice of main tense. As you write, review your outline or at least identify what timeline the following paragraphs belong to. Read your words aloud once in a while, which can also help you check if your tenses are consistent or not." Two beer mugs at the lower left corner.
