Tell me I'm not the only one who does this.

Starts a fic. Writes a few paragraphs.

"No, this should be in present tense."

Goes back over what she just wrote, changing every verb.

"No, wait, past was better."

Goes back, changes every verb again.

"Wait, maybe this should be in first person...."

I can assure you, you're not. though in my case it would continue:
"oh, and if I did it from someone else's point of view?"

Hee!

Since time of posting: switched back to present again.

There should be macros for that. (Of course, I've never figured out how to work a macro, but even so.) *g*

A world of yes.

[janedavitt.livejournal.com]

I have done that too... ::sigh::

I've had things that started off present tense in my head, but because I don't really like present tense, I try and wrestle them into past.

Doesn't always work, though.
