The Way We Are: POV and Tense and Polls, Oh, My!

Big thanks to Sara Bulla at Live to Write for the Versatile Blogger award and sweet words. I love it! And a big thank you to Kelley Lynn at Between the Bookends for the Versatile Blogger and the Kreative Blogger awards. You girls rock my world!

And now, onto a fun poll. Just for curiosity's sake. People tend to have some pretty strong feelings about what POV and tense they write in. I'm curious as to what those are! So if you don't mind taking this handy dandy poll, we can all get a glimpse into what everyone's writing. It's like research. It'll be helpful to.... Okay, it may only be helpful in sating our curiosity. It's not like it'll change what we write or anything. :)




Feel free to elaborate in the comments!

I'll elaborate here. My current WIP is first person. Not that I have anything against third person! I quite like writing third, too. This one just demanded first. And I write past tense. Why? Because a) it feels natural and b) I'm fairly certain I couldn't pull off present tense well. Plus, I write for kids ages 8-13, and they don't embrace present tense the way the YA crowd does.

What about you?
