Chapter 5: 4000 words and counting (Patreon)

So, the word count for Chapter 5 continues to trundle along, and reached 4k today.  I abandoned by original plan to revise chapter 4 - it was at risk of becoming way too long - but what I wrote was salvagable as a starting for chapter 5.  It's tricky to find writing time during a weekday - I'm lucky if I carve out 30 minutes for myself - but even at that pace the chapter is growing nicely.  There's some fun stuff going on between Cindy and Julia that I hope readers will enjoy.

Though I wonder - do readers prefer chapters to be short and frequent, or longer and more developed, but dropping only every couple of months or so?
