I can't remember my original name, but You can call me Sunset Shimmer. Everyone else does, ever since I got tossed up in this wierd mess. I don't remember too much about my old life either, outside of my calling being in engineering and computer technology, and my favorite thing otherwise being magic, which I thought was fictional back then. I was also human, I guess that's an important detail to mention. If you want to hear my story, well, read it aloud to yourself. Everything I can remember and then some should be written down here, so indulge yourself with knowing everything about my life.
I can't believe it, I'm finally trying my hand at story writing once again! Maybe it won't be a reputational disaster this time. I love constructive criticism, so feel free to file a complaint in the comments section, but if you do, at least try to explain what went wrong. I don't know how often I'll be updating this, I've got a lot of stuff coming up in my life, including but not limited to college, and my dedication can sometimes completely change focus on a whim. I've wanted to get back into writing for a while now, I just haven't had any good ideas to write on. Chances are I'm going to hit massive writer's block on this story and completely stop, similar to last time I wrote, but we'll have to wait and see.
And before I forget, compliments to user golden dawn for the base idea, in his/her story, "new life, new me". I have no creativity for this stuff, so when I saw such a great idea for a story, currently abandoned at two chapters and as-of-yet in serious need of extreme editing, I couldn't pass up the inspiration.
FEBRUARY 2022: It's been such a long time. I barely remember what I wrote for this story, beyond the base premise, along with being able to reread what I've published. I had a vague story arc planned out and saved in the form of excerpt notes, but even that got lost on a failed hard drive that I was unable to recover, along with many other projects both writing and otherwise.
If I ever get back to this writing project, and I honestly can't say if I ever will, at this point I might be better off starting over from scratch, with a similar premise but a fresh take, instead of trying to pick this back up from nothing.
My perspective has changed rather drastically over the years, as such my writing style has certainly followed suit, as I've noticed in the tone and nature of comments and content I've posted in years past, and the difference would be rather jarring without a complete rewrite; not to mention having to salvage what I've written of the existing story into what's essentially a new one, compared to my lost and forgotten plans from before.
To those whom have showed their appreciation of my past work, in both likes and comments, thank you. If not for the positive feedback, I'd be just as likely to mark this as another piece of personal history, to be forgotton as I've already moved on through multiple different chapters of my own life since.
It tells me that there were some things I did as a depressed high schooler with anger management issues was of immature origin, and that means a lot, as I'm still trying to put my past behind myself in that regard.
I know, this never made it to any frontpages, or got *too* much attention, but the support it did get still means the world to me.
Now, I'm gonna end this description update before I get too sappy or start repeating things.
