What do You Write?

XD

I have a bad habit of writing a character to be my age, and then forgetting about it, and then coming back to it years later and changing the character to be my age again

Same!

I write stories from my dreams too! And I make all the characters the ages of my friends and I. I also gave them out personalities...

I sometimes write stories from my dreams, but I have to write down everything that happened in my dream when I wake up or else it will be forgotten

Yeah, I once had a dream where countries had brains and could control people and everyone's name was a country. That's now the goodreads book I'm writing called Rieux.
But the idea for the Lasting Empire actually came in sixth grade. I was playing a game with my friend that we liked to make up as we go along. Then we thought that the game would make a fun book. It's come a long way! XD

My dreams are bizarre, and I physically cannot put them into words or pictures, because nothing can show just how much detail is in them. They also have fully-developed worlds and plot lines that make sense in context. But, as I said, they are bizarre. Really strange things happen in them that only make sense in the dream's world. I often wake up with the strangest feeling of, nostalgia, I guess. I don't know. My dreams are beautiful, and strange, and often very sad. I wish I could be able to turn them into stories, but nothing will ever do them justice. It's just the kind of thing you have to see to understand.

Oh, I also can't have lucid dreams. Every time I try, something within the dream stops me. It's like watching a movie I have no control over, while also experiencing everything that's going on.

Yeah, my dreams are always super vivid and I always remember the details. I still remember some of my dreams from when I was little! The nightmares are the easiest to remember, sadly

Haha! Even as a kid that was the case for me! I'd have dreams that a witch came, or whatever, and try to defeat it or reform the story, but the witch came back every time. Even when proportions got distorted, I couldn't change them back no matter how hard I tried.

I once heard that many authors have really insane dreams. That's either a sign to what my career path is supposed to be, or my source was skewed. XD either way, I still want to write!

[Silver - Have a great day, you're loved]

Whatever works XD

My dreams are always either entertaining or terrifying. The entertaining ones I make me wish that I had a machine to record my dreams so that I could show other people. The terrifying ones I want to die in a hole.

Same! My dreams are always intense though. Most of my nightmares are about me driving or my family and friends dying

[Sushie || "To gain your voice, you must forget about having it heard" -William Ginsberg]

I want to record both! Story ideas come to me!

[Nova]

I can't tell the difference between a nightmare and a normal dream anymore, and I don't know how I feel about that.

Here's the link to a book I'm writing. I started it last year so some of you might recognize it, but i've done a lot of editing and have added a lot.

Thanks!

I started a public writing called More Than Zwerg. It's just a side project so apologies in advance for its low quality, but I'd appreciate it if you can check it out!
