#WritersCoffeeClub How do you write the time? In text or numbers?
Text. Numbers look wrong to my eyes among the prose. I find numbers pull me from the narrative and I’d rather the reader forgot reality while reading my story. Unless I’m copying out a visual display with numbers that a character is reading, then I’ll stick with text.
