You should only write in present tense with extreme caution.
not because it's bad or anything but because if you do it even once you're going to be editing the bits where you shifted tenses out of your writing for the rest of your life
if u write in present tense enough times in a row, you can switch this problem around & get confused when your present-tense narrator is talking abt something that happened in Their past. I recommend this bc it keeps u on ur toes
guys i made my first blackout poetry

Karen Wheeler’s wood-paneled Grand Marquis rolls down Route 50 in the dark, jostling the eight bleary-eyed teenagers crammed inside of it. Gravel pops and rattles beneath the car as bugs continue to splatter the windshield, the dim, yellow glow of the headlights catching the hazy fog creeping over the asphalt.
“Chrissy, listen—”
Eddie’s sentence dies in his throat when Chrissy’s tongue darts out to wet her lips.
Damn, had he ever actually looked at her lips before? They’re plush and pink, glistening with spit and tiny, leftover sparkles from yesterday’s lip gloss. Then she bites the inside of her cheek and Eddie might as well be standing on the surface of the sun.
He wants to kiss her.
They’re quite literally hurtling towards death inside of Wheeler’s soccer mom mobile listening to Peter fucking Gabriel and he wants to kiss Chrissy Cunningham.

It's #hellcheerthrowbackthursday and I am using that opportunity to bring up every star in the sky again.
I got some incredible commissions and gifts for this fic that left me absolutely breathless.
first we have MJ's gorgeous moodboard that she made me
I also commissioned honeymell (original post) for this incredible piece:
I commissioned unusualmuffin for a moment of the story's levity (original post)
I was gifted this absolutely amazing work from luna (original post)
and finally monsoonsummer created this beautiful book cover (original post)
not to mention every lovely, thoughtful, kind comment I received on ao3 and here on tumblr.
I didn't know this story would resonate the way that it did with the fandom, and I am forever grateful for every gorgeous person who told me they enjoyed my little tale of love, redemption, and victory.
letting a traumatized character have their happy ending where they can recover from their trauma will always be a thousand times more powerful than killing them off for shock value
