great post!
I am one of those readers who cant stand present tense writing. (hunger games) I dont care how popular authors think it is to write in that passive voice, I will throw out that book.
I use Grammarly or the Hemingway app to make sure I dont use it when I write.I dont want to inflict that kind of torture! lol 🙂
Thank you. Yes, I always feel like such a picky reader when I am in search of something to read. But there is nothing like a good read and the emotions you feel while you read!
And I can’t feel neither when it’s in a present tense voice 😕
Good tips for editing a first draft… however, when writing the first draft I find it more helpful to throw the rulebook away as too many rules can ‘constipate’ me when I’m trying to get my ideas onto the page.

Excellent advice! And taken to heart… Thank you!

I’ve read many of your great stories on your blog, and I love your writing! I don’t like the passive voice or present tense storytelling.

Most of the rulebooks contain strict and sometimes rubbish rules. But I recommend you to read ‘On writing’ by Stephen King.
