Chapter 7 is being MEAPified. Chapter 8 is done and waiting for reviews. Things are cruising along.

I can see the finish line off in the distance. 3 chapters are all that sit between me and done.

I've decided to skip chapters 9 & 10 for now to instead work on chapter 11. The endless rewrites of 7 left me burned out. I need an "easy" chapter to restore my spirits. 11 is about another favorite topic of mine: testing. This will be a grab bag style of do's and don'ts, why's and why not's. It's another chapter that boils down to "here are all the ways I've screwed this up in the past. Don't be like me." I expect it to go pretty quickly (as I always do).
