The duellist of Alusind
Words today: 500
Words total: 3,000
Reason for stopping: more than quota
Exercise: short walk
Darling du jour:
Ramon could rule the death an accident or a suicide and go back to the shade of the watch-house now, if he wished, and no one who mattered would ever care otherwise.
But that's not justice, is it?
Instead, he touched cold cheeks with his fingertips, lifted the dead man's arm.
Not only does this guy think he's funny, he also thinks he's Good. He'll pay for not being nearly cynical enough.
Tyop du jour: N/A
Words MS Word doesn't know: lividity, taverner
Research: rigor mortis, lividity, the effect of insects on dead bodies
Mean things: still rotting corpse, high summer heat
Books in progress: textbooks, Louise Bruit Zaidman and Pauline Schmitt Pantel (English translation by Paul Cartledge), Religion in the Ancient Greek City, Tobias Bucknell, Crystal Rain.
The glamour: More essay, more commuting. Cold weather.
...You know, this book has been unusually good to me since I started rewriting it. (This makes me worried.) I even know, now, why necromancy is absolutely verboten in the city. Ancestor cult!
(Trust me, it makes sense in my head.)
