   Thanks for sharing that clip. Love Saunders, think he’s one of the best at work today, so it’s great to hear him discuss his approach here. And am a fan of Mr. Rose, too.

   Interesting. My standard for a piece of writing being done is, “It feels right.” Ask me, “Why does it feel right?” and I’ll shrug. Jangly is a good word for his sentences. Read “Victory Lap” last night and it was way too tense for reading right before I went to sleep.

     Yeah, it’s kind of a tense opener, definitely a page turner.
