hi, I just want to ask does it matter if we write the whole thing in past tense or present tense? do you have a link where we can learn about these past and present thingy like I know its basic but I hate it how I can't just seem to rack my brain to do the right grammar thing. I think that's the only thing that's holding me back from publishing my stories or not even continuing to write the next chapter and ended up abandoning the story :( it's a struggle.
