The benefit of having finished NaNo -- about 15K of it was discarded drafts, but I wasn't aiming to have a complete novel, just a hefty chunk of completed story -- is that finally I can work on something other than River. (Two more chapters completed, but both of them need hefty edits and I also need to step back to make sure my plot holds together before I do anything else. My main goal in writing River for NaNo was to make sure that I could do a novel-length plot on a much more limited scale than Dust.) Which means I'm currently playing with the Star Wars time travel place-swapping story with great delight. I don't know if I'll finish it or not, but I'm having fun, which is my main goal as a fic writer these days.

“Easy for you to say,” Anakin muttered. “You’re not really here.”

That’s a matter of perspective.

“From my perspective, you’re not the one stuffed in a metal tube,” Anakin replied, the words barely more than a breath, and began to crawl.
