Let's do something about TENSES. It may be almost as polarising as my hardline jam-before-cream stance, but it might be fun. Follow #TenThingsAboutNarrativeTenses to collect them all!
1. First off, remember that there are no inflexible rules. There's what you like, and what works for you, and what keeps the reader fully engaged. If what you do achieves what you need, then you're doing fine, and you need not worry. #TenThingsAboutNarrativeTenses
2. Commonly, past tenses are used in narrative. There are three: the perfect (I did something), the imperfect, most used in description (I was doing something) and the pluperfect, which delves further into the past (I had done something, when -). #TenThingsAboutNarrativeTenses
