Since people are debating the present tense (exactly the level of mild literary conflict I'm up for today) I want to share this: When I was very young, I was subscribed to two magazines: Wee Wisdom (as twee as it sounds) and Jack and Jill, which is apparently still around. 🧵

@rebeccamakkai When I was in 5th grade we had a creative writing unit and had to write a story. I wrote a present tense first person story about a girl walking through a creepy house. My teacher marked it all up and told me a story couldn’t be present tense. 🙄 Even at 10, I knew she was wrong!
