There are lots of examples of mixed tenses in published works, especially when chapters are told from a different character’s perspective at different periods of time. A.S. Byatt’s novel, Possession, for instance, has a split-time focus. The main narrative is told in the past tense by an omniscient narrator, while the sections focused on the past are often written in the present tense, first-person, in the form of letters. The future perfect continuous tense is used to express an action that will continue up to a specific point in the future. For example, “The students will have been studying for two hours by the time we arrive.” Other ways of expressing the simple future tense include using the verb “shall” or using the base form of the verb with no auxiliary verb. In some cases, a present tense form may be used to express futurity, such as with the phrase “I am leaving tomorrow.” Don’t get us wrong: anxiety isn’t something you should glorify, seek out, or depend on.

Am I incorrect for thinking this way? Will this kind of mindset bar me from any chance of ever getting published or even being given an offer by an agent?

In the same way, can I ask someone "Will you work tomorrow?" or should it be "Are you going to work tomorrow?"
