Welp,
I start my new job tomorrow. I’m a little nervous, but I just have three days of training this week so it shouldn’t be too bad. I just hope everything goes smoothly and I don’t make too many mistakes. Gotta try to stay confident!
I always get tripped up on little logistics...
Like names, POV and tenses. They’re such basic elements, but they set the whole feel of the story. When I’m trying to hammer out some serious plot development I always tend to second guess one of these three things and start changing them around.
