Ursula K. Le Guin and the Case Against Present Tense
from Lost the Plot · host SpectreVision Radio
Choosing a verb tense is a critical choice for prose writers because it effects each and every sentence in your entire project. Committing to a choice, and understanding your choice, is crucial. In this video, we'll get into concrete advice, and we'll also get a little theoretical, by reading a long citation from Ursula K. Le Guin's phenomenal book on writing "Steering the Craft," an absolute must-read for writers. 🌐Request story notes: https://www.jgscammell.com/ ✍️Check out my writing: https://yeshua.substack.com/ 📹 Bonus videos here: https://www.patreon.com/Josh_from_xbolive 🎙️Here's my podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0p75BgKI0GhuCQVOJl8e8d #booktube #literature #writing Learn more about your ad choices.
