To the Rescue! by Jody Feldman

My writing superpower, you ask?
Wordsmithing.
Understanding rhythm and flow. 

Trusting my instincts to choose words and construct sentences in such a way to underscore the reflective nature, the intimate intricacies, the slow-dance mood of any moment that may need to meander through the minds of my readers. 

Or put pedal to the metal. Truncate. Punctuate. Build up tension. Up, up, up, to a blood-rushing speed.

When my editors come at me with changes, it’s hardly ever to point out bumps in the reading road. It’s more to rethink character or plot or setting. And yes, to clarify. 
But redundancies? Filter words? Repeated thoughts. Rarely.
Because, my superpower. Wordsmithng to the rescue!

Until it comes to commas.
Just when I think I know everything about them, my superpower meets its kryptonite.

Jody Feldman, who just wrote 'The End' on a new MG, expects to hear how well-written it is. But she’s holding her breath in anticipation of other issues. Meanwhile, if you or the kiddos in your life haven’t checked out The Gollywhopper Games, you may want to give it a whirl. It’s now in its 15th year and still going strong.
