    Why? you know that they do in some schools creative writing courses, So go out there and see if you can get us caught up in one of your mysteries, cry at your romances and even better laugh and get caught up in one of your stories. What do you think of that idea?:)
    I don't know... for years I was obsessed with these characters that became to me real people, then as I got older, new characters. I have some pages upon pages of suggested characters I wrote down while on the bus or something, it just doesn't come as easy to me now as it did when I was younger. I am a gifted writer, not to say I'm great or anything, it's just the only thing I am good at so may as well recognise it. You know when people ask "What's your talent?" - music, art, etc are easy, if you say "Writing" people just laugh at you.

    I daydream, and was told today in a lecture that daydreaming and fantasy is healthy once it is not 24/7 (Health lecture!). If I'm not daydreaming, I end up doodling, I have to keep my mind active in lectures or I'll fall asleep! My mind pretty much goes all day every day, even when I'm sleeping.

    I love daydreaming. It makes me really happy. I wile away the days at the moment daydreaming about my hot classmate. Or Chuck Bass. Depends on my mood :).

    Mmmmmmm...:D

    @Budgese, I'm the same! I write too so I daydream plotlines sometimes. Other times I have the normal "stealing Johnny Depp from Vanessa Paradis" type day-dreams.

    I excelled at them at one point :D. I'd go on holidays to a tiny town in the South of France. I'd have a coffee one afternoon, sitting at a table outside this really small café. He'd sit at the same table as me because there was no more space, and I wouldn't recognise him, and we'd get chatting... :D

    Did you see recently that the author of the Harry Potter said 'I still have the characters still in my head I might write another Harry Potter book'
    The reason it may be hard for you to put down your characters down for you maybe because of your life now, any chance you could take a few hours for yourself and look at the ideas/characters you might end up writing a brilliant story which could lead to more books who would be laughing at you then? good luck :)

    No, the thread title is "do you daydream". Which is the question she was answering.

    In daydreams you have a certain amount of control. Did you ever get into that state somewhere between daydreaming and actual sleep. Where you lose conscious control and things go pear-shaped. It can be wonderful....or it can be very unpleasant(to say the least).

    She wasn't talking about you!

    Seriously why are you posting when you can't pay attention to what's going on? Even if you are on a mobile? :confused:

    I think everyone daydreams ....i have two distinct types of daydreams....one i have the life i have now only all the little kinks are sorted out...The other day dream is about sorting out the world.. i.e their would be no sickness or ill health or wars.. everyone would die of old age after they had lived a long happy fulfilled life! everyone would have enough to eat.... that sort of thing... but being logical i start to pick holes in my daydream thinking how MUCH is enough to eat!...The inside of my head is a very interesting place!!:D
