I’m at 90,000 words, and it keeps improving and slowly growing – even though I’m taking things out.  The Pale Folk have become the Painted Folk, and they have gone from a race of small pacifist craftsmen to a race of tinkers, rogues, and miners.  I’m changing some names from some long-held placeholder names to more of a final form, which is exciting – if not a little confusing even for myself. It’s getting closer!
