Back On the Novel?

I won't actually say I'm back on the novel, because that would mean I'm actually working on edits and rewrites.

But, I will say that I've found myself thinking about the novel a lot lately. Wealth Effects in its present, scarcely coherent and partially incomplete (despite it's 186,000 word girth) form, is set in the late 1990s, against the back drop of the tech stock bubble, the Y2K scare and the Clinton impeachment.

But the past few weeks, I've been rethinking whole characters and sections against the backdrop of a house of cards based on debt and irrational exuberance that comes crashing down.

Hmmmmm.
