Ive decided to write my novel in first person. It is by far the best way to tell my story. My question is, when writing in first person, can you write in past tense and present at the same time? For example,
"I remember thinking that it was a bad idea to have went there."
or
"I soon discovered it was a bad idea to ever come here."
I know that I can tell my story from either of these points of veiw, my question is wether I can bounce back and forth between the two of them in the same story? Or is it just to confusing for the reader?
