That's the spirit!

3516691 Those are really good ideas. And after that, I could do the chant itself, describe the complexities of magic used and then the aftermath. All that is sure to produce at least 1000 words. I might just make it a reality.

I think it'd be possible to reach 1000 words. It's all in how you describe the scene you're creating. My two cents would be to set it AS she's preparing to raise the sun, focus on her thoughts and emotions as she gets ready (nobody, even ones suffering from extreme mental complexes can do what she'd be about to do, willingly, and not have self-doubts about her choices or not need to self-hype). Maybe have her give thought to what ifs and what might have been. Maybe as she journeyed, she could have found places where she could see herself happy and content, maybe even fall in love, but gave those up to raise the sun.

I think 1000 words is not only possible but plausible. You just need to look at it from different angles.

3516689 I'm glad to hear that you saw these implied things between the lines. I really like it as well. It's my favorite song. I used to listen to music, but now I just listen to this one song. I have hundreds of versions of it, with the same lyrics.

I'm actually thinking about extending her chant to the sun into a whole new story. I'm not sure if I can reach 1000 words with it, though.

Damn good poem. Even better sung and a fairly funny sequel with a unique perspective. If I had to put it into terms I'd say Sunrise Gloom has massive Martyr and Hero complex. Being seen as a villain/realistic result by being as blunt as possible to aspiring unicorns all to keep them from losing their magic/making bad choices was fun to read. That you were able to put such complex ideas, ideals and philosophy into less than 1,500 words is a laudable accomplishment.
