| Tenses
Hello!
Are there rules governing what you can do with tenses? (except, I know, almost everyone hates my beloved present tense).
I'm writing something just now in (ahem) present and planning to have the odd chapter of back story told in past tense (but by the present tense narrator).
I know there are no rules as such, but would this be likely to come in the same category as headhopping (well, you can, but you need to know exactly what you're doing or the reader will throw your book at the wall)? |
