Not OP

I'm under the impression it's called maladaptive because people escape to this instead of living their life. (Well, assuming that being an author of some kind 24/7 isn't what they want to do with life, but even then, the person would do something productive with all that daydreaming.) It's one thing to express oneself through art, since you're getting whatever's on your mind out on the canvas; daydreaming all the time just creates a world in your head that you never want to leave.

Thank-you! I hadn't realised that it could get so all-consuming. I remember many a day when it's saved my bacon. Being too ill to read or scroll or watch anything, or even listen to audio, but having that internal narrative to entertain me has stopped me from going completely bonkers. But this last year, what with the cancer, the tooth infection and the gut infection (TMI) the whole phantom panorama has shut down. I presume I've gone into survival mode. The creativity is creeping back slowly but it's a hard process. Brains use a lot of energy. Bleh.

I don't think it is actually maladaptive unless it gets in the way of your real life. I don't see a problem with having a world in your head as long as you manage your real life and it doesn't get in the way.
