I WAS making good progress on chapter 4. · 1:27am Nov 16th, 2012
I had about 1,300 words before I realized that what I thought was chapter 4 actually needed to be chapter 5. I am going to be revealing some thing about Equestrian society that would be utterly horrifying in a society that wasn't as nice as Equestria, and I needed a better way to introduce that facet.
So I moved what I had to a "storage chapter" that will never be published per se (just how I organize things so I have everything for a given story in one place) and started from a blank screen. Nothing was lost, merely delayed.
