And so the moss trolls were saved!

Praise be to Wikipedia, for I found the term I need for the genderfuck in Bone Palace. I was trying to come up with a pseudoGrecolatinate word, when I have perfectly good fauxHindi to use. And lo, the word I needed is hijra.

Finding that makes up for spending the rest of the day playing Scrabble and waiting for Gretchen to take a nap. "Whatever you're doing, stop it!" gets a lot of use with puppies.

Hopelessly drift in the eyes of the ghost again

I used to talk about writing a Disintegration novel, if maradydd never finished hers. Now I realize I'm writing the Disintegration series. TDC is "Prayers for Rain" and "The Same Deep Water as You", and Bone Palace is "Plainsong" and "Love Song" and "Pictures of You". KoD could totally be "Homesick". Nice to know I'm getting some mileage out if it.

Too bad marketing probably won't be too keen on "The Disintegration Series".
