It's one of my favorites, too. It takes real skill to make a reader not notice that, though. I hope you're one of those writers!Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-63555692741269089282019-02-07T06:08:15.448-05:002019-02-07T06:08:15.448-05:00You all will hate my MS when it becomes a book som...You all will hate my MS when it becomes a book someday, first person present.

But it's hard to enjoy when BOTH characters are written that way and add in present tense...
