Nothing very important to say today, but I just had to go and look up what tense the Jewel was written in. It always strikes me as very strange how easy it is to forget when writing a story, and how easy it is to suddenly start writing in another tense. Does anyone find that this happens at a particular moment--like if a character is thinking of something back in time--or is it usually absentmindedness? I have the biggest trouble when I sit down to write after a break, and I never seem to gravitate to one tense over the other--just infallibly the tense that the story is not supposed to be written in. Sigh.
