A novel idea: Inserting new chapters

True to my word, I have done editing on my novel every day of March so far.  But yesterday, as I finished chapter 3 and dove into chapter 4, I realized that there is a lot of information that needs to be present before I introduce chapter 4's new character....that's good news and bad news.

It's good, well great, because it is going to bring my word count up by a couple thousand words.  I need that word count to at least pass 60,000 before I can even consider sending my manuscript to publishers. 

It's bad because I have to pull a whole new chapter out of thin air.  Sure, I know where to start, but darn it...it is a lot of work.  Wish me luck.  Gonna need an extra large amount of coffee in order to get this done.
