Take up maladaptive daydreaming?

I was doing maladaptive daydreaming since I was a child. But I have never thought they would actually make any sense. For me, they were just some nonsense I came up with. But today, I took your advice and started writing all that nonsense down. You are an amazing writer, so I know I can trust you.

Done, what's the next step?

castana.bsky.social•94 days ago

Got it, now I just need to learn how to draw

imustachechu.bsky.social•94 days ago

You already know, you just gotta get the wiggles out.

I feel this lol. Characters just write themselves, man. I only channel them.

As I tell my friends, I tend to only have one foot in reality at any given moment. The rest of the time I’m formulating ideas and daydreaming about my story.

I should've turned my daydreams into stories. There was some amazing scenes there

way ahead of ya

rotobbb.bsky.social•94 days ago

I just.... do it, lol

Have a REALLY vivid idea for a silly little music vidoe as a teenager, and then-

-stares at fully formed world, characters, and over 18 years of 'I should make this thing' and iterations-

...Wuh

Best I got is write every idea down as soon as you get it. You lose so many to time when you assume you'll just hold onto it in your head.

Extreme pro tip!

fezanoctis.bsky.social•94 days ago

Ohhhh. So thats what it's called. All this time i thought that's what brainstorming was

foxmakerstudios.bsky.social•94 days ago

I just had to think of an idea, and while writing. I just kind of wing it. Expanding upon it when I'm writting it

foxmakerstudios.bsky.social•94 days ago

My biggest weakness is my inspiration and motivation to write, as with my job and other hobbies

Recular dreaming also works...

Downside is sometimes waking up middle of night because plot of the dream got too intense / interesting. :"D

I always imagined you sitting in a cafe, with a notebook, smoking a Gauloises and drinking absinthe

lackadaisy.bsky.social•94 days ago

Sadly, I've never in my life managed to look that cool while working. I just sit at home in a hoodie, hunched over my notebooks with a cat half-sprawled across my workspace.

If you spend 70-80% of your day living in your fictional worlds, the stuff practically writes itself. 🤷‍♀️ That's how I do it anyway. Lol

Mind-mapping software, like Scapple!!

You’re not ‘apposed’ta use it like a word processor but 🤭 … but I use it like a word processor…

For me its delusion of succes

demoargenti.bsky.social•94 days ago

ideas are the easy part anyway, the execution always matters way more. Anyone can have an idea, not everyone can turn that into a story.

dresdencodak.bsky.social•94 days ago

I think this is on point. Dresden Codak was literally birthed by me not paying attention in the statistics class I was failing.
