Yellow for internalization, blue for dialog, green for description, orange for tension and the elusive pink for emotion. Red underline for everything else. Then we marked up our chapters. What we hoped for was a rainbow effect in our writing...which is what mine was...even some smatterings of pink...phew!

"The question is what?" I vote for ANYthing! Your writing is engaging and entertaining. I predict that, as long as you don't quit writing and stop querying, that you will be a successfull, multi-title published author.
Keep at it Karyn. The talent is there!
