So I'm having this problem.
The start of Lost Little Wolf was fairly simple and easy to write, if not necessarily easy on the emotions.
I have several plot points I want to get to and some scenes blocked out, including the Night of the Summer Sun Celebration (ep. 1&2), A Canterlot Wedding (Season 2 finale), a few things in the middle of all that, and a massive event that takes place around the same time as the end of Season 6.
The problem I'm facing is I don't have much fully planned out from the end of Chapter 7 to the Night of the Summer Sun Celebration. I've got some rough sketches, but no solid plans. Just writing isn't proving to be terrifically effective to clear the minor writer's block, either.
I'll keep you all posted.
Well, there's always the option of timeskipping... Or you go with a pseudo-timeskip, wherein you have a bunch of little scenes/omake-style things to intersperse the time.
I'd recommend at least one collection of connected scenes between chapter seven and the Summer Sun Celebration, to give an idea of how things have developed and in what way they will likely continue to do so. That way readers won't have to do an inordinate amount of work rationalizing how things might have changed to explain current events, and you won't have to break up or lose focus during said current events by having to touch upon the past too much.
PM me on what you over all want for the story. I am very good at brainstormign ideas.
You could always show us around the hive some more, you know show us what your changelings are like. Maybe have some little adventure just outside the hive. Just some basic character building stuff for other parts of the world. maybe talk about the infiltrators, or some of the day to day running of the hive, perhaps have Chrysalis address what the future is for our little changeling princess, I think that has some possibilities.

Not that I dislike expositing entirely, just that I don't like reading large blocks of text with nothing going on, so I try not to inflict such on others.
