"I have smoked crack."

"I have been puncturing tyres."

"I punched a camel."

With these examples, I'm starting to think the first of those examples is true in both past and present tense.

Great work here, my friend. Tense is a common problem here, and one that people really need to spend some time on. It's critical and very easy to screw up (I'm sure I've screwed it up more than once). It's also something that is very hard to edit out of someone else's work, which is why I often delete stories with significant tense issues rather than leave them up for editing. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I really hope people take the time to read it.
