Chapter 2 of "The Strange Case of Dinky Hooves' Cutie Mark Curiosity" has to be delayed by a week and here are the reasons why

To anyone who is waiting for the release of Chapter 2 of "The Strange Case of Dinky Hooves' Cutie Mark Curiosity":

I will have to delay the new chapter until Friday next week unfortunately. I will tell you all why though, so you won't be worried about the state of the fic.
While I was writing the last chapter of my former fic about Dinky, "Aunt Millie", I developed a very strong gum infection, because in my hurry to get the fic done, I made the mistake of not drinking enough, which caused my gum to dry out and develop that infection.
I tried to fight it on my own and thought I had defeated it, but then it returned right after "Rock Solid Friendship" aired and was stronger than ever. The pain had become so strong that I could not fall asleep anymore without getting awakened again immediately, which rendered me unable to sleep. The fact that I didn't get much sleep on the day before either didn't help and just worsened it.
So I went to an emergency service of a dentist on Sunday, who mostly got the infection and the pain under control it by cleaning the gum and I'm painless since then with the help of some medication to put onto the gum two or three times a day.
The sleep deprivation had taken its toll, though, so I didn't write on Monday and Tuesday and decided to rest up. I thought this would be enough when I sat down to plan the course of "The Strange Case of Dinky Hooves' Cutie Mark Curiosity" from Chapter 2 onwards, because I really felt good and had no problems planning everything.
But both yesterday and today, I had huge problems getting out of bed in time to write and I noticed that I have problems to concentrate my thoughts while writing longer stuff. Even composing this blog entry right now leads to my brain feeling mushy, so it's a rather serious case and I probably could not sit through writing a whole chapter. I also tend to mix up words in this condition (so I'm sure you will spot errors in this blog entry), which isn't the right state to write a proper chapter.
So, for the sake of my own health and the quality of Chapter 2, I will have to delay it until Friday next week.
Until then, I will go and relax a lot and rest up to free my mind and make me capable of writing again, so, this is the day where the fic will continue for real.
The plan for the fic also develops nicely, I have some very exciting ideas for it that should keep you on the fence!
I hope you will bear with me a little longer until I can continue writing this fic and be assured that it will return to regular updates next week!
It's a fic that it means much to me, so I'm not letting it die.
See you next week for Chapter 2!
