Amy Keating Rogers found a bunch of her old pony episode brainstorming notes in a bag and is now
sharing them on Twitter. Song lyric ideas, character name brainstorming, plot points, etc., from Bridle Gossip, Fall Weather Friends, Cutie Pox, A Friend In Deed, Pinkie Pride, Testing Testing 1, 2, 3, Canterlot Boutique, and Crusaders of the Lost Mark (so far)-- plus notes from one of her first meetings with Lauren Faust.

Some of them are hard to place, but others are pretty interesting. Apparently the song "Cheese Confesses" in Pinkie Pride was going in a completely different direction in the beginning and used to be about Cheese Sandwich looking up to the Wonderbolts? (??????? hence why he wanted to impress Rainbow Dash, I guess???) By contrast, Diamond Tiara's ballad in Crusaders of the Lost Mark seems like it popped out fully formed. Also, in Bridle Gossip, it clearly took her just as long to come up with the name "Twilight Flopple" as it took Spike.

Edit: She's also put up a few cut scenes from various scripts:
