Present tense drives me batty and I think it's gimmicky and pretentious.

The "show don't tell" adage has become over-used and misinterpreted. *Some* telling is okay, if it's well-done. I don't mind reading lots of exposition, if the content itself is interesting.

For example, I would rather read a simple statement like "She was scared", than "Her heart pounded, her palms were sweaty, her mind raced, her breathing quickened, yadda, yadda." Too much "showing" becomes wordy and feels like filler.
