I could start this blog post off with a bajillion sorrys and it really probably wouldn't help, so I'm just going to go through my writing process and let you guys understand what happens for me.  That way you know what's taken so long.

Step 1: *Complete* Write chapter by hand, be loose with descriptions and change liberally.

Step 2: *Complete* Type out major sequences in chat conversations with proofreader, for consistency's sake.  Work on additional details.

Step 3: *Complete* Rewrite story with additional details and resequencing.

Step 4: Send to proofreader for final proofread.

Step 5: Edit on FiMFiction

Step 6: Let loose to the masses!

This particular chapter has gone through a lot of different edits so it's taking a bit, but I'm hoping tonight will be the end of the wait for chapter 3.

Much Love All,

Hey Everypony,

So, my proofreader is back and I'm in this interesting scenario.  I'm debating whether or not to just update the current chapter 2 with what was supposed to be in it.  Originally I was going to split them both up but with my proofreader back, etc.  I feel like potentially just outright reediting the chapter is wisest.

Anyway, I'd like the opinions of both chapters and what I should do from my readers so please leave a comment with what you think and what I should do.

Thanks,

PRG

Hey Everypony,

Apologies for the humongous delays on the story.  I had originally hoped to have the story completed by today and of course that didn't happen.   I have been forced, once by unfortunate circumstances and once to return to college, to move around, which is a time consuming process and also there have been a couple of deaths in the lives of people I am close to.  Fortunately no one I was especially close to, but even with a degree of seperation, deaths are never easy to deal with.

In the long run it left me in no mood to write and truthfully, at least as far as the human equestria story has gone, that feeling is still lingering.

Luckily, in the last week or so I have been struck massively by inspiration for another work and have a framework of where it will go.  Hopefully writing something new will bring back my desire to finish Forest For The Trees.

Sorry to Leigh (for the wait), and of course,

Sorry to my fans,
