Im so sorry; I ranted for so long I forgot about the advice part. My advice is both to write regularly and learn about new things as much as possible. It sounds too simple, but it worked for my older sister, so im sure everyone can benefit from it.

I whish I could write a book about tons of my daydreams, but sadly most of them involve movie or video game plots that I insert myself in to see how my presence changes things. That's more like fan fiction than an original story, which isn't all bad. But I also tend to think faster than I write and writing so that it makes sense to other people is harder than it seems... then again, like everything else, I gotta practice more to get better at it.

<p> It is the most optimistic thing in the world to hear about an MD person transforming all their creative fodder into art!!! </p>
<p>Let us go forth, and spread our creative seed! Lol...I never took Bible studies class, but I'm sure there's a passage in there like that. </p>
<p>The authors were probably in an MD frenzy when they wrote it too! Good luck to you , and don't shy away from detail! Imagination is our gift to the world, use it! </p>

I've never reflected on my past this much before. I'm starting to realize a lot of disturbing things about my past. I almost want to stop writing, but ever since I was little I planned on writing my autobiography someday. And I need to face my past instead of trying to forget.

<p>This sounds awesome Abber! I totally think you should do it; I'm a little older now and I wish I had kept better written records of what I was dreaming (pretty sure I was most imaginatively "fertile" as a teen). Feel like I lost a lot of stories just because I thought I'd always remember them.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Also love the title "Paper Dragons." </p>

And I agree that I should talk about the daydreams I had as a child, too. I thought of an idea where maybe I could write the daydream events down as if they actually happened, but use a different font and end them with my daydreams being interrupted by real-world events.

I don't think I'll open it up by talking about Saurus, because I want the events to be in order. But I definitely agree that I should mention that Saurus is the most special daydream location. Saurus is special because:<br/>
<br/>
a) Yes, I got the idea to write the book while daydreaming about Saurus.<br/>
<br/>
b) I got rid of all of my old daydreams because they were very limited and about only one topic, so I got bored of them. The daydream featuring Saurus, however, is the most complex and the best one yet, and even though I only started it a few months ago, I think it's here to stay. The daydream universe I've made is huger than ever, and it has several different themes and story arcs at once. I've actually spent a long time trying to find one permanent daydream, and I think this is finally the one. It actually features a few of the best parts of my old daydreams. :-D<br/>
<br/>
c) The daydream with Saurus was my daydream when I first discovered that I had maladaptive daydreaming.<br/>

(b and c are the most important reasons)
