hi...mine are mainly in the present tense... hope you read and like them...
Well, if it is in Present Tense it should be: I eat a banana and then I take a shower.
You're right or it could be "I'm eating a banana before I take a shower." But also like I said, it just depends on the writer's skill level. Some people are rock stars at writing 1st Person Present Tense, while I am not.
Mine applies, I suppose. I simply like the type of writing style I have and I really don't care if people do present, past or whatever. If I like it, I simply like it.
