Yay! I'm the fox!

Up to 21,000 words on the continuity edit/nitpick-fix of "Prayers to Broken Stone." This is nothing huge, since the first 21,000 words don't have much wrong with the continuity; I'm just changing Natanyel's personality so that he's actually a prince, and not a moony teenager in love. The novel has enough moony teenagers in love, without him being one too. The continuity fixing won't get really nasty until the end of the novel, which I messed up on badly.

This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.

Is it like this
In death's other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.

Auuugh! Can I die and come back as T. S. Eliot? Please? I think the lines from the same poem:
Let me also wear
Such deliberate disguises
Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves

Have given me ANOTHER novel idea. Alas and woe.
