I think I've figured out my sacrifice along with most of the plot. I just hope the plot isn't too long to squeeze into a MG wordcount.

I could do a two book split the way it's structured, but I'd prefer one book. If the wordcount gets too much over 70k, then a-splitting I will go. It should also be open to more books with the ending.

Cog is a five book series. At least one of the books will have sky pirates :).

Sky pirates sounds awesome.

I kicked off starting the novel with a blog post--there's a map and everything. I put the princess last as suggested.

Now I have to write it.

I am releasing a short-story sized bit of ~ma but holding on to the bigger portion for a bit longer.

It seems Asimov's might be buying the short story. Thank you so much you guys. You are my home. Even if I'm quiet, I'm reading and nodding.
