I have an acquaintance who wrote his memoir in present tense. He used multiple clichés, reused the same adjectives over and over and even the same sentences again and again. But, I couldn't put the book down. It was full of action, and left me wanting to know what comes next, as adventure led to adventure. Pondering what made the story so 'in the moment,' was that he wrote in the present tense. It made up for all the glaring blemishes. — Glenn
