    They come in many shapes and sizes.
    But the most sought after feature is the brilliant fire that shines inside the clarity the finished gem.

Well, as things calm down and I find writing easier again. I figure I might as well give you folks an update on An Apple Studded Diamond

Chapter 13 - And Strong. is about 50% finished, not counting the Epilogue, and the first 3000 words will hopefully be moving to G-docs later tonight in preparation for editing. (Heads up Azi)

I'm looking at about another 4000-6000 total words as I need to wrap up some explanations that have been bugging me for some time. I'm hoping to get this done ahead of the holidays but we'll see as I have to compensate for other staff taking vacation time (I normally don't do vacations of any great length or frequency).

Well, I'm doing the evening shift tonight so I need to leave off this blog for the time being.

TTFN.

Nice to hear things are looking up on your side, take your time on the new chapter, I'm sure it'll be great once it's done.
