The most prevalent tense in my draft is past tense. This is most likely because I am telling a story that already happened. Tense provides the perspective in which the content will make sense in. There is a big difference in something that could happen in the future and something that already happened. This is important for connecting the past and the future, as the author trying to convey bigger picture ideas.
I think my verb usage flows well for the most part. As I was rereading the draft, I felt reassured with the transitions. Also, as I was making the blog posts related to these verbs, the different tenses were placed in various places in the draft, never being clumped together.
I feel like I have a good amount of present tense verbs. I really tried to connect what had happened to what could happen in the future. Using present tense verbs helped be bridge this gap.
