Look at JRR Tolkien, he created this complete fantasy world and now it' s won 11 grammies.
However, he did share it with the world. I like the idea of writing children's stories.
When I was younger, say from about 8-14, I had a fantasy world too, but I guess it was more suburban than yours. I daydreamed about a character named Valleri Laurence, who had long curly black hair and blue eyes. She lived in Roseberry Valley and had normal parents who didn't yell.
I would turn on my AM radio and spin out intricate fantasies involving her, her friends, her cute boyfriend and her cheerleading career, LOL.
In my mid to late teens, I even wrote a novel about her, but changed her name. The novel is not publishable, truly it's not. It is in sections in a box that I keep in my apartment still.
After I moved out of my parents's house, when I went off to college, I didn't feel the need to escape like that anymore. I still write a lot of poetry though.
