Romance Writers Weekly- What Tense

Welcome and hello from a long weekend! I’m glad I found some time to write. If you missed what the wonderful Carrie Elks had to say, click and pop back. She also asks the question:

Writing can be in-tense. Do you have a preferred POV (First, second or third person) and do you like writing in past or present tense? How about when you choose a book to read – do the tense and POV come into that choice? Have you ever written or read a book that breaks all your rules yet is so much better for it?

So far I’ve written in third person and in the past tense. I would like to try and write a book in the present tense. I think it would be a good challenge to my writing. Also writing in the present tense would be interesting as well.

I’ve read books that are in first and third and I like both. Meg Cabot writes really well in first person and I enjoy how she writes.

I don’t mind what tense the book is in as long as the characters are strong and they have a good plot.

Thanks for the great question Carrie! Continue on the hop to A.S. Fenichel to see what she has to say. Until next time!
