the slow creep upward

Just noticed that as of last night's revision, With Fate Conspire is officially the longest Onyx Court novel. (144K and counting.)

I'm hoping the damn thing doesn't hit 150K before I'm done, but given the big honking change I'm thinking of putting in, I wouldn't bet the farm on that.

five things I want

1) I want to write a secondary-world fantasy, where I can Make Shit Up rather than having to bend myself around reality.

2) I want to write short stories again.

3) I want to move forward on some piece of the logjam of ideas building up in my mind.

4) I want to know what I'm doing next.

5) I really, really want to be done with this revision, so I can get on with my life.
