> One of the best drives is experience. It is an intimate one and can be hard to translate the burden to certain personal observations, though I say it's a worthy effort.
if it´s well combined, trust me it can be pretty effective for what you want to transmit and at the same time, play with what you know from the past. In science, not only you have to experiment things but also observe and interpret phenomenons that while not seeing for yourself, theorize why they happen (implications and observations that you have in the text related to it). 
I suppose that method of interpreting while telling actual events can offer a great mix for a story. And like I said before, I don´t want to look like an absolute loser with the story and deliver a fair proportion of entertainment value in it. 

> is one I have considered as well, but is not a current focus 
well, at least, it´s there as another technique to apply. Who knows for what it could be useful?

> I'm mixed into how much is me and how much was my environment and how serve but close ones to me swear that I was pretty insane for awhile well that description sure gives some interesting thought to one's head doesn't it?
uh oh, that doesn´t sound good at all nor the backstory that one could imagine about it.

> One that haunts you strongly too...
it haunts me because it´s politics and I promised myself not to fall into that lack of mind control again with this topic. I have to deal with them every day yet they have served me to learn a few valuable things as well.In the end, that paranoia was the wake up slap that I needed in order to establish a solid mind for anything. I just wish I had those illusions but it seems that I am finding certain pleasant things along the way even without that innocence. 

> That sounds fun. 
indeed.
> I seen plenty fics go this route that are considered even pretty good that I consider go far into edge territory to the point I have to roll my eyes.
yeah but even if they are praised, I know what kind of cliches I can expect from there and using them again without any layer added into them, it´s just not worth it to repeat them. 

> You can be cool without being emo too... 
that´s what kids and teens forgot in the 90s and the 00s. 

> This fic I'm referencing is actually is/was pretty popular for awhile
popular in 2013 or so? I wouldn´t be surprised. 

> one of the things that guards you against that is that is not an expression of rebellion with Daybreaker being your emotional outlet, but a state that you were from a unpleasant and traumatic one. 
it can perfectly be used as an emotional outlet. However, Daybreaker is a means to an end despite her dark appearance that induces a bit of edge,let´s not forget that she is the result from the mind of a good will character and in the end, Celestia will have to fix it. The edge if anything has been there from the beginning and it´s her own mind. If anything, the constant changes in her own head transmit worse feelings than the transformation itself.
