I have a hard time focusing on writing. I often become distracted by the internet, games, books, or other projects. The same goes for most other tasks I do. I’m never present in the moment. My mind always drifts to other worlds. My head is always in the clouds. I’m always dreaming, sleepwalking day in and day out. I never stop to live where I am.
Writing fiction helps me to get my ideas on the page. I can explore strange new planets and go on daring adventures whenever I want. Then I can share those tales with you guys. But the problem comes in when I can’t stop going on adventures. It becomes like an addiction. I need to visit other worlds.
That’s when I lose focus. I need to visit these other worlds now. How do I do that? Other people’s art, of course. I play games created by others. I read stories or watch movies from a stranger’s imagination, not mine. It’s not that there’s anything bad with reading a good book or enjoying a movie. If that were my message, this would be a pretty poor business model, huh?
My point is that you can’t let those worlds become your reality. You can’t live in a dream.
This is something I’ve been struggling with a lot lately. I tune out conversations because I’d rather dream about this planet. I don’t hang out with friends because I want to go on a new adventure. But what’s the point in an experience that isn’t even real? What’s the point in sacrificing real things for the sake of a dream?
Proverbs 13:19 says, “It is pleasant to see dreams come true, but fools refuse to turn from evil to attain them.”
If I stay in the clouds and keep living for myself in these fantasies, I’ll never see when my dreams come true, and I’ll lose them. I must remember that while it’s ok to dream, waking up is vital.
Thanks for reading! Have a fantastic day.
Make sure to check out my debut novel, Liar’s Legacy! This action-packed Sci-fi adventure is filled with thrills, great characters, and deep introspections on redemption and the consequences of our actions. If you love fun and epic science fiction books, then what are you waiting for? Get yours here!
Sometimes I feel insane when in the midst of imagining a story, but if I pull away too long, I lose my momentum and the story loses its glitz and glory, leaving me to force words onto paper, which leads to the story being less than wonderful until it is shelved. (I have a bunch of shelved stories.)
Imagineers are cuckoo, no doubt, at least when in the depths of their imagination.
In Liar’s Legacy, I’m sure you have a better understanding of folks like your character, Sevdis. There is no way you can write his persona without gaining understanding about people who puff themselves up. And in doing so, you find yourself coping better with real life people who have a bit of his character, and you have more understanding.
Writing and imagining are avenues to understanding other people. Not just seeing their actions, but delving deeper into the “whys” of such, and seeing how some personalities conflict with others. It’s philosophy and psychology and spirituality.
As a reader, Sevdis is only a character in a book, as an author, Sevdis is so much more.
Watching TV, etc., certainly you are watching other people live life, but when you are the creator, your mind may be in another world, but you are in a reality where you are learning about life.
With that said, having a writing time really is one of the best ways to rein in the imagination and still live in reality. And though our imaginations still work overtime in reality—as all it takes is for someone to say something that inspires a scene in our mind’s theatre—all I can say is, “‘Tis how I was made, so it is what it is.” That’s the reality of it.

Watch the distractions from other artists. Use them as leisure and to learn, but don’t let their work end your work.
I totally agree. Thank you! I appreciate it!
