There were a lot of things I wanted to convey with this piece and it's always ore of a challenge than it seems to get the tone to fit just right with the source material. There was a lot of stuff going on below the surface of this series. I loved how they took tropes like Manic Pixie Dream Girl and bent them in delightfully unexpected but true feeling ways.Rommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18343895193475984183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659263493425330078.post-37278753299023025202020-01-06T12:10:27.416-05:002020-01-06T12:10:27.416-05:00Thanks RThanks RRommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18343895193475984183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659263493425330078.post-58613859774602410622020-01-06T12:10:16.162-05:002020-01-06T12:10:16.162-05:00It was an unexpected delight when I discovered it....It was an unexpected delight when I discovered it.

Part of the challenge (for me) when I write pieces like this is to keep some of the tone of the source material present while I shape my words around it. Daybreak is very darkly funny, but also touching in ways that surprised me.
