if an author writes a story with a main character that is an obvious idealized version of themselves-- gorgeous, talented, smart, practically perfect, everyone is in love with her-- people say that the character is a "mary sue". almost all of the time, a story with a mary sue as a main character will get bad reviews, just because the character is a mary sue.

as i have said before in a different blog post, i have had two different daydream stories. one that i stopped…

For my Practical Grammar class we had to write 5-page papers, so naturally I wrote a 9-page story instead.  Whenever I write down things from my daydream world, the stories always feel really dull to me.  However, prof gave me really good feedback, and I got 100%, so it must not have been all bad.  It still feels dull to me.  Oh well.  

Here's where I posted it if anyone's interested:…

Thank you so much for everyone who wished me luck for my pitch!

It was sooo scary, i had to do it infront of a panel of four people, television people, and film people. Disney, ardamann, A woman who has been working with Tim Burton on his latest film, and my gosh was i scared.

The people gave out great views on my idea, and gave me good advice, so i couldn't tell whether they liked my idea or not.

Whatever the outcome was....i wasn't too bothered to be honest…

 part of my DD about this boy who i know i DD about and in my DD he likes me but i dont like him but he trys to do things to impress me and buys me things. in my DD i told him that i dont like him that way.

 so today i find out that the boy who was part of my DDing about acctually likes me, i NEVER would of guessed he liked me, i know he likes me because my friend asked him and i over heard the convo they was having and then she told me what he said, he does'nt know i dont like him…

This might be kind of an odd post, sorry. I might sound kind of weird and I'm not sure if it's going to make any sense, so sorry... :S

It's apparently pretty common to pace and rock etc while daydreaming and I know alot of people say they find themself talking outloud. Sometimes I almost act it out, in facial expressions, head tilts, talking at invisible people all around- everything .  Not sure if derealization is the right word per…

Yesterday, I printed out Cynthia's study, stapled the packet, and presented it to my mom. She didn't come to talk to me about it until 5am when she noticed that I was still awake in my room. The first thing she asked me was what I thought about it. I told her the truth...that the article spoke very true to me. I had highlighted all the sections that revealed my symptoms (pretty much everything except for pacing).

To my surprise and happiness, my mom responded very…

According to Cynthia's new study, only 8% of participants reported researching aspects of their daydreams. I was honestly quite surprised...maybe because I always research mine. Science articles, community forums, dictionaries, documentaries, Wikipedia...you name it. I want my DDs to be somewhat accurate if I'm going to use mental and physical illnesses, real places and events, and professional occupations for my characters. I'm always wondering, "Can this really happen?" and look it…

So this is pretty unrelated to daydreaming, just some ramblings. Winter is a'comin now soon. It's November and snow hasn't hit my city yet, which is quite unusual. I'm used to blistering cold and knee deep snow by mid-October, lasting till the beginning of May. It's odd that it hasn't begun to snow yet, and in a weird way I sort of miss it. I love winter! For.. 3 or so months. But after seven months of -35C degrees with a -45C degree windchill, (that's not an exaggeration, oh and it's -31,…

I've been meaning to get on here for a few days. ^^; This past week has been frustrating. Caught a cold and finally managed to have an appointment with the campus psychiatrist, to get her opinion on some health issues I;m having at the moment. She just basically stated that I need to see a neurologist. *sighs* I'm having bloodwork done on Monday, so I'm curious to see what those results will say.

On another note, meetings with counselor have been going well. We've discussed…

I'm thinking of setting this up as a separate blog just about MD.  I feel . . . so happy to know that there are other people out there who have this condition, since prior to this I've always felt alone.  I've been daydreaming since I was 5 or 6.  Granted, all kids do daydream, but I think I knew right off the bat that there was something strange about mine.  They were definitely different in some inexplicable way from a "normal" daydream you might expect a kid that age to have.  (Although I…

Well, he now knows. I brought it up (it was really hard!) and managed to describe it in general terms, without really giving any details. Maybe I will later, but I'm still really self-conscious about it. Hell, it rattles me that I'm even posting about it on this website.

I'm aware that that kind of makes his job harder- he's my therapist after all, it's his job to analyse this stuff- but I'm kind of taking it in baby steps. 

After my four day "cold turkey", it's been a little…

hi, im new to this website,

my parents think that im just lazy because i never get any work done, i didnt do as well in my gcse's as i would like but i still did good just not as well as i could of, during my exams i just stared at the paper and DD i had to snap my self out of it a few times and tell my self 'NO! , this is your exam stop DDing' , iv just started college this year and im still finding it abit difficult to get all of my assignments done but im getting them…

Hey, well I don't know if anybody else has done this, but I have made up this so called dream guy. Okay, you can call it an imaginary boyfriend. I've never had a real boyfriend before, so I guess this promted me to make one up. We meet in college and he's super popular, but I am the girl that gets him. I cook for him and cuddle with him. He is so cute in my eyes. He's sweet and caring and fun. His hair is always in check. He's super nice and tender and he cares about others. Oh yeah, and…

I have a pitch tomorrow..and im so scared....wish me luck as i try to pitch an idea for a short animation. All i want is to get through and be alive at the end...i dont care for getting picked..just get through the pitch!

Wish me luck and send me good vibes!

>.< eeek!!!

I'm guessing the answer to this one is yes, but... ;)

Do you guys ever daydream about going back in time (intentionally or unintentionally) and reliving things differently? Making different choices? Giving certain people what-for?

I look back at highschool and say to myself, if I had known then what I know now, I could have really made some waves. And then that turns into a delightful romp of a daydream where I breeze through my classes, dress better, and use stronger language,…
