Carrying on the genre started by Y-san,

Single-letter exchanges:

Right here, present location
But, logically
Pre-zzzzz's
Perfected
~~Half overdone~~ Twice bisected, but not quartered.
Right now, present occasion
Pyramid, of sorts
Rule, for obfuscation
Interior layout
Correct a mistake
Signal to cease
100 ergs/gram, or, 57.295
Enticement to purchase
Small article
Exclamation

Edit:

I omitted number 12. Now it's all much easier.
Letters do not stay in same order, necessarily.
Clue 5 fixed.

Good job. 7-13 are the words I had in mind.

Clue 5 needs to be fixed. Unfortunately I had in mind a saying that I heard as a child and I erroneously thought was common parlance. I googled every possible reference to it and came up empty. It must have been colloquial to a very small region and then disused over time. So ... A new Clue 5:

5. Twice bisected, but not quartered.

I will edit the OP to reflect the change.

"There's no such thing as 'one, true way'; the only answers worth having are the ones you find for yourself; leave the world better than you found it. Love, freedom, and the chance to do some good -- they're the things worth living and dying for, and if you aren't willing to die for the things worth living for, you might as well turn in your membership in the human race." -- Diana Tregarde in Burning Water by Mercedes Lackey
