I finished the next chapter of Cultural Norms (I'm going to call it Ponyville Flat Affect) at 12,000 words. Editing phase is a go, which usually means cutting scenes that don't work while adding descriptions and proof reading (which I'm bad at, if all those spelling corrections in the comments section are anything to go by).
Fortunately, my rectal tumors stopped it from burrowing further and killing me (I also found out I have rectal cancer. Oh well.). I've had to go through months of surgery, and even more months of recovery, and here I am. Anyway, that's why Cultural Norms is "late".
