She opens her eyes, realizing that the sun has set and darkness has come once again. 'Did I really sleep that long?' she thinks. She looks about the room at the others, who're all watching her. She decides it's best if she didn't mention her confusion. I think that is correct.
In the world of chatting, texting, and such I think its easy to slip tense. All you want to do is to be part of the conversation. Otherwise, (to me) you sink into, a constant proofing of what you've written, and it seems just about the time you are about to hit enter, the conversation has moved way past the point you were going to comment on.
I imagine it's easy for you to write present tense online, because that's what you write in your fiction, and well, you're a writer.
Me? If I was trapped in a well, and the only way out of the well was to write a novel in present tense, I'd die in that well.
Would the voice option be a possibility in Howards End?
