I don't have any tangible preference for what tense the story's written in, as long as the verbs flow and don't sounds stilted. I prefer to write in present tense these days, but if the prose of what I read is good, I hardly ever notice what tense it's written in.
I'm having the same problem. I have to REALLY concentrate to do it and if my attention slips, so does my verb tense. *facepalms* I know that I could do this, once upon a time!
Of course, it might not bug me SO much if publishers weren't so irrationally prejudiced against present tense and I could just write in the way that feels natural and makes me happy.
