How often do you daydream about your life as a writer? I mean we're all writers, but I think most of us dream about taking our writing careers to the next level. I'm a big dreamer. I mean I'm trying really hard, as hard as I possibly can. And I still hope that all this hard work is going to pay off in some way. Are you a dreamer too?
Hardly ever. I sometimes have fleeting thoughts about how certain moments would feel, but not often and not for long. I've never had much imagination in any way.
Do you mean you dream about the stuff you want to write/are currently writing or that you dream about being one day recognized as a writer?
I used to do it all the time. Now that I have kids, though, I rarely have time to complete a practical thought let alone a daydreaming one.
I enjoy it. I don't understand why people do it for any other reason, to be honest - if you want money, a minimum wage job earns you more. If you want recognition, find another industry!
I do quite often, comes with the Sci-fi territory. Akin to Dr.House, I think and often want to see people naked. And not in a sexual context. People Fascinate me on all levels, but I can't nor have the capacity to molest an-other's gray and white matter.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it. I'm not fussed about recognition, as you're nothing more than a printed name to most readers - I think for me it's the desire to make something out of being able to tell stories.
I'm going to assume you mean fantasize. I don't recall fantasizing about being a writer, but I probably had that fantasy somewhere along the line. I can tell you, I fantasize about many other things... almost nonstop. The only time I don't fantasize is when I'm meditating, which makes meditation refreshing. My fantasies are so vivid and engaging, even in public I'm prone to bursting into laughter or speaking out loud. I have to be careful when I'm around others so they don't notice. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, had it been written in my lifetime, would have me thinking that James Thurber knew me. If I was sitting next to you on a bus, you'd never know I was once a rock musician, an astronaut, a hit man, the president of the United States, a professional baseball player, champion chess player, champion surfer, genius physicist and mathematician. But a writer? I think maybe that's one of the things I do in reality.
Not in the slightest. Even when I was most active I never really daydreamed about where it would all end up. I mean, it was and might still be at the back of my head "Hm, it would be nice to get published if it ever gets to that", but no real daydreaming. I'm not much of a dreamer, anyway. Now a days I'm not really writing to get published. I write because my mind gets clogged up and I'm at higher risk at getting deeper into depression if I don't "produce" something. If I finish something and it feels right I'd probably try to publish it, if not, meh. At least it might get me through the day. Sorry for the downer post.
