Very rarely do my daydreams start from the beginning. They'll start from an interesting concept or big climatic scene and I'll go back to how it begins later. After that I'll bounce back and forth to different parts of the story adding new bits or fleshing out existing ones.
Do you daydream from beginning to end or do you jump around in time?

I think of mine like a TV show, it just picks up where I left off, always has. It started when I was 4 and it's still going, there is no end, just subplots wrapping up and new ones coming to the forefront.

Mine used to be chronological when they were more fantasy genre/epic type of stories. Now they usually jump around a lot. One day I daydream that the main characters have kids and live together, the next they are just meeting for the first time. Sometimes if I have a new idea or want to take things into a different direction, I just hit the "reboot" button in my head and "reset" all I've done in that daydream so I can start over again, and have the characters make different choices.

I always jump around in time. Sometimes I try to make them more or less chronological but even so I end up with a huge amount of flashbacks and flashforwards anyway.
Just I mostly play the most interesting story points over and over and pay much less attention to the rest. I don't even care much for plot holes or if there occurs some illogical stuff.

I jump around a lot. My main DD spans nearly 70 years in the daydream world, and I just drop into it at whatever point feels most interesting to me at the time. That does occasionally cause major inconsistencies in the plot, though, which I find super-annoying...

I have a certain set of characters, and I just daydream different conversations, situations, etc. pertaining to them. It’s just anytime in the daydream, and really isn’t at all chronological. If I want one character to have a conversation with a different one about something that happened later on in their life, I’m going to do that. If it’s chronological it feels too rigid, and I daydream so I don’t have to feel tied down. Sometimes I want to daydream a romantic interest that hasn’t come into the picture much yet, so I’ll do that. Then sometimes I want to daydream how these two characters met, so I’ll do that. I just have different characters and plots I like for different moods I’m in, so I do whatever matches my mood. |
