Time and again I've had a lovely clear image in my mind which has had to be discarded because there was simply no way of making it work in words...
Oh, no! Never give up!
I'm not sure why I write AotB in the present and BtVS in the past. I started the first on in the past and it just slipped into the present tense on its own.
I've only read this very quickly but it's all very accurate -don't know why present tense - just seems to work better when you start with certain images I think
Finally had a chance to read it properly - all true - I never know how to manage dialogue and realise later that my points of view and pronouns are all out of wack
And don't be silly - your writing skills don't have anything to catch up with - everything is just in the right place

(And most of those discarded images are still hanging around in my head... so maybe one day my writing skills will catch up with them!)
