I now nominally own a khopesh, gotten in an eBay auction that someone on the KOL board mentioned. (Nominally; haven't gotten confirm from the seller yet, but I've gotten confirm on winning the auction.)

Like to be not a tremendously high-quality khopesh, from the price on it and all, but from the images rather handsome despite that. If I need to damage someone I'll just have to use the KA-BAR or my poniard or something else.

I think I know the structure of this book now, which is happy. It's similar enough to the structuring of the first to pass whatever worries I might have about it differing too much in rhythm, and different enough to be distinctly itself. And it seems the first-person passages are alternating with third in a rotation of in the family, in the riverside, and in the rest of the city. Which is at least like to be consistent, and gives me a place to aim for the next appearance of Boiling Over Boy.

So now to write 8, which would be internal to the family.

The opening bassline of this song is exactly and satisfyingly correct.

teinedreugan has asked me what it's right for, and I couldn't answer him; I haven't gotten that far. But it's exactly right for something. One of the places that makes the Songdragon sit right up and hum.
