I'm wondering what the mood is regarding present tense in YA fiction right now.
I've finally got the outline finished for this nonsense factory of a novel, sat down to write... and totally stalled out on tense. I really want to write it in third person present tense, but I also don't want to have to go back and change 75k worth of tenses when I'm finished because third person present has no market. I know I genuinely love it, but I get the feeling that it might be uh... kind of reviled by the larger community. LOL.
Anyway. Opinions, anyone?
