I met with Claudia yesterday to go over revisions.
The take-home quote of the day?
You’ve done an excellent job building tension in the story; it builds and builds and builds.
Like an orgasm.
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, I create orgasm-worthy middle-grade fiction.
But I don’t think I’ll mention that as a selling point when it comes time to schedule school visits.

I can just imagine them fighting over you…”I’ll have what she’s having.”
Seriously, Tracy–GO, YOU! I think it’s incredibly challenging to build and sustain tension. Congrats for doing such a fine job of it.

Isn’t it funny to contemplate? I just cracked up when Claudia said that.
I appreciate your congrats on building the tension but give huge credit to C who has taught me so much about how it’s done.
