I spend a great deal of time daydreaming. I can't help it. It's just the way my mind works. Sometimes, The BFF and I play "anywhere but here" where we tell each other where would be instead of where we are. What we would be doing and who we would be with.
Sometimes, I text her serial stories...a bit everyday continuing on until we get to the end. It's been a while since I've done that but we've had a fairy tale, a murder mystery, and a supernatural story. When I do this, I just write whatever pops into my head and see where the story takes us.
And sometimes....sometimes, I have my lovely fantasies. Where I imagine what my life would look like if I could orchestrate it according to the script I've written. Those ones are the best. Because, for just a few minutes, everything is perfect. And that right there is why I think daydreams exist.
Kris you just slay me sometimes! Great post. To me perfect is yeah you can throw me shit but nothing I can't handle & not all at once.
ReplyDeleteHehehe. Yeah, you just pretty much described my reality. Which is why I like daydreams!
DeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteI loved the daily stories! Those should happen again sometime. You're so damn talented to be be able to come up the plots so quickly like that. I'm so jealous!
ReplyDeleteI do love the personal fantasies the best. How else are you going to get through hte long boring work day without a few moments of fantasy?
The muse does, not me. And I'm totally jealous of your descriptive talent and the way you invoke the feels so I guess we're even.
DeleteAnd yes! How else are you gonna get through the mundane?
This is why we read, isn't it, so we can step into other people's daydreams. Keep writing, so the rest of us can share yours! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that! Yes. And I will, if only because the muse sometimes rides me like a porn star. I hope that someday I'll be brave enough, and have enough confidence, to put the stories out there.
