It really shouldn't be so hard to convert from passive to active tense in my writing but I swear my brain just shuts down on certain words and I get stuck on cadence, the easy flow of you were, she was. I have three tabs open on the subject after obsessing on how to change a few occurrences of was as well as ing words. But didn't have to use them because my brain came through in the clutch. To be or not to be. My writing slips to the passive a lot and I know it is not a fixed rule the way most rules when it comes to writing shouldn't be. But I also notice that a lot of my writing thrives with that change but I am learning when to let certain lines or phrases be.
