Editing my newest novel is proving to be a lot more work than I originally thought. I wrote a good portion of it in present tense, and mixed in some past tense. The current edit is to make it all past tense, like my other books are, except my short story, "Cabin Honeymoon", it's in present tense.

At least when I get all of it edited into past tense, I will be caught up with it, and ready to continue writing the rest of it.

  1. I've had that happen before, but since I usually write in omniscient POV, I automatically stick to past tense when writing.

    1. Thanks for the comment, Michelle. I usually do write in past tense also. For some reason when reading over it I noticed it was mostly present tense. It has made a lot of extra work redoing the writing to make it past tense. I believe it will be a much better book in past tense.
