They say you learn the most by teaching, after all. I haven't sprung for Maass's workbook yet (I have the book, though), but I've seen some excerpts from the section on tension and it's great stuff. Good luck! @Andrew—You’re way ahead of the game ;)

It's on my to-do list. I already have a scene/setting map i can start with. I definitely understand the promise stuff but I haven’t looked at pacing much. It’s on my to-do list.
