I tried writing a novel too, but it sounds terrible. I know my DD stories, I just can't write them down that well, so I just write it down anyways no matter how bad it sounds and it does seem to help, because your thinking more about writing than daydreaming. I love to write, and I think we all should attempt to write our DDs out in a story. I am a poet, and that's how I express my emotions about my daydreams, so I feel it helps me. Go for it and write!
Personally, I have to separate my daydreams from my writings. My daydreams generally just have a main character (me...) who is essentially perfect but is thrown into a complicated plot line only to end up with the perfect happy ending, every time. That's all well and good for in my head, but it's not enough for a real story. Real written stories are tougher, because you have to give your main characters flaws, you have to make them more ordinary and relatable. That's what I think makes them worth it.
Hi! I just joined! I use my MD as way to write stories. I have a detailed world of detailed stories and lots of documents on my Google Drive of stories I've daydreamed. I have trouble coming up with the right words unless it's dialogue so I guess my writing is more character driven then worried about how it sounds. But I really love reading them back because it's like seeing what I've daydreamed.

I'm curious, does anyone else feel the same way?
