Lost on Time, but how to continue?


Black to Move
I achieved this position tonight, but ran out of time and lost the game. I think black is doing well if he can capitalize on his light square bishop being better than white's dark square bishop. Black can also make use of the 'a' or 'h' files.

I played ... Qh7 here in time trouble but I think a more appropriate move would be to lock the pawns up on the h file then try to dominate the a file.

Looking again, I still like the Qh7 idea because the e pawn is slightly lose and whites light square bishop is overworked. Instead of attacking down the h file the black queen can come to the center.
