... and took a deep breath.

My day was gloomy, unlike I've ever seen,
My mind was fitful, showing reality mean.
My day, marred by poor sleep,
And my work, judged by many as cheap.
The day ended, my mind new and clean,
I sit at my computer, I know what should have been.

Okay, okay, I think I went a tiny bit melodramatic in the morning there. Sorry about that, I hadn't had good enough sleep for the past few nights. As the day dragged on, I got to thinking about what the reaction was to my story, and it's with a fresh (admittedly delayed) mindset that I go about the task on trying to right the wrong I inadvertently caused.

I shouldn't have added the Transgendered aspect to the story. It seemed like a good idea at the time, as it enabled me to give Rainbow that slightly somber feeling in her mind, but also to give her reason to quickly and willingly undergo the transformation.

However, as I looked passed my initial grief, I realized that I shouldn't have toyed with such a delicate subject for the sake of a piece of erotic writing. While it made plot sense for it to be there, the way I implemented it was insensitive, and honestly, it just didn't fit in with the themes.

So! As I try to remove the bullet from my chest, and continue climbing these stairs, I will rewrite the introduction to my story, removing the element of Rainbow being transgender. She will just be a guinea pig for one of Twilight's experiments. This means I have to go about editing pretty much all of the story before Rainbow is changed, but don't worry, I'll try to keep it at 3600 words.
