As regards writing fiction, "will" is present tense and used when directly quoting a character's thoughts: "Tomorrow I will arrive at the castle." "Would" is past tense and used when paraphrasing what the character is thinking: "Tomorrow he would arrive at the castle." The first is the actual internalized thought, directly quoted. The second is not quoted thought.
