Something I've employed a lot in my past work is to swap back and forth between past and present day. I'm actively trying to not do that with my current WIP and it's so hard. Do any of you have a type of literary device that you end up utilizing more than you realize?

I like to take my time getting into the worlds people have created, enjoy the language they've chosen, the imagery on the page. That being said, I'd like to read all ten of these before the end of 2025 if I can.
Also, please, make room on your TBRs for some indie horror.
