Further progress.

So TTA, as I've begun calling it in my head (Transponyism/Transequinism/Alicornism) is going well. Had a couple of days of difficulty, but then I tried working on some different scenes, cut one scene and merged it into another, and now Chapter 2 is about 80-90% done. All in all, I have nearly 13,000 words now: All of Chapter 1, most of Chapter 2, and bits of Chapters 3 and 4. Considering where Chapter 4 is going, I think I'm going to wait for it to be done to send stuff to pre-readers. I was initially planning on sending out the call for pre-readers after Chapter 3, but that was before Chapter 2 changed into two chapters. I'll still be sending it out at the same part of the story plotwise as initially planned.

Things are going pretty well. Considering around 5,000 words per chapter is what I'm looking at, I have close to two-thirds of the scenes written. I just need to finish writing them and slot them in correctly.
