“Why did you decide on the present tense? Why did you decide on the first person?”
KKR: As I mentioned above, I’m an intuitive writer. I don’t decide. My subconscious does. I think the reason Boss uses present tense is that because she has no idea how the story will end either. That’s the weird construct of first person. First person past tense narratives usually begin with the narrator acknowledging that things didn’t go well or there was a good ending. Boss didn’t know. So the reader doesn’t know. The only way that works logically is in first person, present tense.
