Managed another 500 words to hit 4k today before the environment hereabouts turned to one no longer conductive with creativity :p

I need to finish this scene, another one ( naughty bits *laugh* ) and the closer for the chapter.  Hoping to have this now-penultimate chapter done within the next couple of days.

After that, it’s all a matter of having the time and proper conditions to write, because the ending has been fully fleshed out for a long time now.  I just needed to get over that speedbump with the one character’s development, and now I can roll.

Hope to have more good news tomorrow.  With things quieting a little around here, I might even try to squeak out a little more progress before I crash for the night.
