Chapter 9 is done! It'll probably need a few more revisions, but we'll see how it's received in the first round of reviews.

More MEAP updates are on the way. Brian gave me some really useful feedback on how to tune up chapter 8, so it'll be a (hopefully) brief detour to revise that before it gets released.

Other than that, chapter 10, the final chapter(!), is getting started. We'll see how long it takes. The tail end of this year is starting to feel like a mad dash to get everything completed. Once the manuscript is completed, the real work begins.

Time lapse of Chapter 9 because it's fun:

All told, just shy of 82 hours for these 20 pages. Many false starts and failed approaches.
