I am the only one who have spent hours writting about their fantasies? I have imagine scenarios, dialogues, emotions, characters with their personality and a whole world... this imaginations were (and still are) so vivid that I had the need to put it down into words... Today I realize that this interferetes in my daily life and happiness, because they are not real, and that amazing and unique world is not my reality. This makes me  and kind of depressed, because I want to be there... but I am here. At the same time, this frustates me because my life have all the components to be perfect and fullfilling, but for some reason I have the need to invent this worlds. They are so grat, fantastic, enjoyable... but they dont allow me to enjoy my life,my friends or my family. Its is like a drug. Have someone ever feel the same? Have you ever writting your own book? Or it is normal for a writer to feel this connection with the book? I dont see myself as a Writer, I have never written anything before this episode of constant daydreaming. I could be the whole day writing, thank God that I have obligations... Should I delete the whole book? I am not strong enough though... I have developed a relationship with the characters. Btw sorry for my grammar mistakes, i am not english. I dont even think that someone will even read this but I least I say it out loud, and that is a steap  |

The saddest part of all is that I feel so stupid and as a weirdo doing it... but I love it. I know that If my friends or family knew about it, i would feel embarrased, ashamed and humilliated... but God I want to finish the book. I say to my self: after you finish the story, you wont think more about this... but I would do a triology really, i have even though of it  . The second book would have the most interest... I need help hahaha  about this, I have another question. Writers kind of have this disorder, right? I cant imagine a writer that dont interacts with their characters... Now I find it hard to distinguish a writer from maladaptive daydreaming... what a day of discoverments. I woke up like a normal day and now I doubt about my whole existance |

Now I find it hard to distinguish a writer from maladaptive daydreaming... what a day of discoverments. I woke up like a normal day and now I doubt about my whole existance Well I myself have never been able to put it into words. The speed of didn't match the speed of writing. Plus I couldnt write every detail, though I did write what it was about, etc. just not in novel style. What I think is the difference between writers and mders is that mders err more on the unhealthy side. Its often done as escape, it is more about getting the much needed stimulation that we don't get in real life, people dont md to get the most interesting plot but to fulfil a certain need. But i know that it is more thatn that, for example always having an imaginary person overlook every thing, warping everything you see or read in to a plot, putting every encounter and every possible encounter into a plot, most importantly not being able to control pretty much any aspect of it. I thing writers who are not mders dont make plots for the reasons we do. |

I am a writer - and actually, all my plots were cultivated and are cultivated from maladaptive daydreaming - I recognise I'm doing it like some morbid process... and writing I guess has always been a way to purge it and make purpose of it.
From reading here - and just hitting that age of self-consideration - I do recognise that at times it gets out of control - insomnia, anxiety at 'being' away from my desk and work hut....

I've thought about writing mine into a book. Mostly as a way to make MD seem like something it is okay for me to do. I don't know how it would go though, but I'm interested to see others have done it successfully.

I dont even think that someone will even read this but I least I say it out loud, and that is a steap I think it's great you have the ability to write about your daydreams for hours. From what Im heard I think it's common for authors to spend hours writing their novels. In my home city there is a creative writing course but one of the requirements is that you need to spend 20 hours outside of class writing a week. I wish I had the same motivation to write for hours like you do. The plot lines in my dd worlds would make good books. My problem is when I have the motivation to write the motivation to dd overrides it so I end up daydreaming instead and hardly get any writing done. You should keep at writing your book that way you can be productive with your daydreams. |
