Tonight's words: 662. Chapter 21 total: 1,272. Story to date: 76,558.

Tonight's thanks go to [livejournal.com profile] ssha and [livejournal.com profile] mamishka who advised me about what happens when someone's got a knife in their back. Especially the latter, who added that I should check with [livejournal.com profile] jiapa, who is after all, like, qualified with this sort of stuff. So:

HEY [livejournal.com profile] jiapa! Is it appropriate to assume that if someone's had a thrown knife embedded in their back, and the knife is still there, that there wouldn't be much blood around the site of entry?

More thanks also go to [livejournal.com profile] mizkit who consoled me through my wave of panic about "AAAAAAAAH ALMOST DONE WITH AN ACTUAL NOVEL AAAAAAAAAH!" She has, after all, been there. Thanks Kit. :)

Thrown Knife

Depends on how firmly wedged in place the knife is, but yeah, if it's not wiggling and it didn't cut through a major blood vessel, there shouldn't be much blood. Wiggle it, and you'll get plenty of blood though.

Can I recommend "Body Trauma" (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0898797411/) as a handy reference book? And the rest of the series.
