    IN WHICH HAPPY BOXING DAY!
    I meant to post while it was still Christmas (CST) but as usual I’m late. I hope my few remaining readers had a lovely holiday! Here’s a song that’s been in my head lately.

    Chuu is one of those who, according to her coworkers, really is just a ball of sunshine. Follow me past the jump.

    IN WHICH I LACK BURRITOS
    No, really. I haven’t been by my local burrito place in a long time, partly due to my mother, so I haven’t been able to get good inspiration for another Burritoverse story. Sorry. For now, enjoy my favorite J-Pop group NiziU.

    IN WHICH SCREW DEADLINES
    Hey, y’all. Been a few months. Whoever reads this, just wanted to show I’m not dead yet. Do you know NMIXX? You should.

    Right. Now, where was I? Oh, I’m sure I’ll figure it out below the jump.

    IN WHICH I LIED TO YOU (SORRY)
    So… Turns out it's been a full year (!) since my last story. I promised a couple stories in between but failed to finish them. But at least I got my annual Mayor Mare story in. Have some Twice as penance.

    More past the jump, if you're willing.

    IN WHICH I LIVE… SORT OF
    Hi. Been awhile. Not sure who's left to read this. I just now realized I accidentally added an "L" on my last 3 posts. Oops. Well, enjoy Sir Elton.

    So, after fixing my screw-up, let's get to the meat of why I'm writing, if you'll pass the jump with me.

The Little Things. · 11:44pm Nov 12th, 2015

Here we go. Another blog post not attached to a story. Will anyone read it? Don't know. All I know is it needs to be written. :derpyderp2:

So I've started "Sonata Dusk Eats A Burrito" in earnest. As is typical for me, nothing is clicking. As much as Sunset might be the introspective type (I argue she is, so there), Sonata is definitely NOT. On the other hand, the whole point of a "Burrito" story is to have 1000+ words of internal rambling. I can certainly imagine and justify Sonata being a bit more reflective after losing her powers and her "sisters" and having to live on her own. She's also a ditz, so she could be more prone to mental tangents that fit the "Burrito" style. I'm just gonna go at it over the next few days and see what happens.

Even if it's a POV-flip, I don't want it to be a total repeat of Sunset's story, and I hope I'm able to differentiate their characters enough in their thoughts that they don't come off like twins. Unfortunately, having to actually consider these things may hurt the quality. I already worry that my writing style is too clinical and academic (years of uni does that to you). It doesn't help that I feel Sunset's "Burrito" story is as close to "perfect" as I can get right now – following up on my best work might lead to disappointment on my readers' parts. I'll try my best anyway though.
