Well, I got it posted tonight, although that's mainly because I decided to move part of the chapter to the beginning of Chapter 4. Before anyone accuses me of it: no, I didn't make this decision just so I could get Chapter 3 posted tonight. When I reached the point where Dash was musing over the article she had just read, I started thinking about how this just felt like a natural conclusion to the chapter. The other scene I had planned out involved Fluttershy all by her lonesome (that's all the information I'm willing to give :P), and it didn't even touch on the events that happened during Dash's and Pinkie's portion of the chapter. It really felt like it would be out of place, so I decided that it would be better used to start Chapter 4. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to make each chapter only focus on one or two characters, but at the same time I'm not trying to force every character into the spotlight in every chapter.
Overall, the goal of this chapter was to deepen the mystery of what's going on with Pinkie Pie and to introduce a potential plot point. I'm not used to doing a slow moving plot like this, so please bear with me. This chapter really isn't among the best writing I've ever done, but overall I'm fairly happy with how it turned out, and I hope you all enjoy it. I'm going to take a breather for the weekend, and then get started on Chapter 4 on Monday. Stay tuned!
I know I should rush you, but oh my gosh when is part four coming out?!
ReplyDeleteNo worries. It's inspiring to know that someone is actually looking forward to reading more of the story. I'm going to have a lot of free time over the next few days, and I plan to devote a good portion of that to finishing chapter 4. Barring any gargantuan cases of writer's block, the chapter should be completed by Sunday at the latest.
