Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
I havent posted in awhile :P. ive thought of good topics but by the time i get to a computer ive forgotten.
I was thinking alot the otherday and i was thinking "is md a gift?"
i know there was a post before called "gift or curse" and alot of people said its a "curse"
but i was thinking like
we, a selected few of people, have the ability to vividly come up with stories with characters who feel very real and its going on all the time
i think were like..........really creative
lately ive been thinking about writing......
but im kind of embarrassed to. ive never really wrote a fictional story before and when i have (at school and stuff) i never put in full effort because i don't like when people read stuff i write and i feel embarrassed while i write..i dont know why. so to write about my dreams would feel really weird but i think it would be worth it? i dont even read much, but i honestly think my daydream would be fun to read...because my characters are cool.
i keep thinking to myself "lol what if i wrote them out in a series of books and then they got published and i got famous and everyone would know that i daydreamed everything in the novels and everyone would think thats crazy but cool and id be rich and id be on ellen and a tv series after my novels like gossip girl and id be more famous than jk rowling"
not like any of that will ever happen, but yeah. LOL.
i wouldnt even know where to start......
anyway, theres no point to this blog
but you comment because i like reading the comments people leave on my posts

I couldn't write a proper story on my MD, but I have used it in creative writing to help out, but in study I've recently started writing out the whole DD story of mine, which I can't do for long at once. I'm not sure why, actually... I think I'd prefer to have my DDs help me draw. I just rarely know what to draw, but I'vve started collecting pics for a collage that I want to later paint, and I've just realized I'm kind of going off topic so sorry about the waste of two minutes of your lives as this is read.
I just found out about MD last night and everything I've read since is about trying to stop. I've recently started writing, and my first thought when I read about MD was, wow I might actually be creative enough to write something great if I can embrace this with out getting too lost. It's hard to lose time when i don't mean to, but I think it will be amazing if I can focus it into writing. I'm sure your writing will be amazing.
It's a gift that you can use for bad (coping, escape, addcition, etc.) or for good (writing, empathizing, etc.). It's a blessing in disguise. We have to learn to control our imaginations instead of letting it control us. But we don't have to lose every bit of daydreaming. I don't like to say Maladaptive Daydreaming is a gift, because maladaptive means counterproductive. Daydreaming, just plain ol', in control daydreaming can be a gift. We just have to fight the bad parts and then see the good in it. (The way I see it.)
I know exactly what you mean! I was a little nervous about starting my story based off of my daydreams...It was hard because I had to explain in great detail what the characters were feeling almost ALL of the time and what their personalities. You see, if I hadn't done this, then the reader wouldn't get the full effect I get while daydreams during the romantic, happy, funny, sad parts of the plot. You know what I mean? Everything had to be percise, and it was hard...I'm still not even finished on the entire thing. I have a lot to do yet. :/
But I do agree with you about MD giving a lot of people a gift of feeling and writing. Don't be embarrassed to write what you are thinking about and feeling! If you put your heart and soul into a school essay/writing assignment, your teacher will sense that and you will become a better writer. :) Please let me know if you're going to write. I'm interested. :P Thank you!
