"Then" and "now", I've noticed. I reread what I wrote once and was like "wow, that's unnecessary" ✂️

I read a YA recently that was set in current times with modern language, and the author went back and forth between making her sound casual and formal in the same convo, annoying. We must make dialogue believable.
