@aurelija100,
She should start writing. This is how a lot of authors get started.

@jespah,
Jespah is right.

"the artist is the child that survived adulthood" I do not remember where i read this.

It is not strange for a prebubecent teen to still have imaginary friends. Even adults can have sometimes.

They become problematic when she becomes delutional. I mean:

<if interferes with interpersonal relationships
<if interferes with sleep patterns
<if interferes with responsabilities (school grades, work, etc)
<starts confouding reality and imagination
<becames paranoical
<detect an important change in personality

Anyone can have an imaginary friend, It is normal to talk to ourself too. I remeber a funny quote:

Hearing voices: normal
Arguing with voices: normal
Loosing the argument: problem

@luismtzzz,
Ah, thanks. Looks like it was Ursula K. LeGuin, who said, "The creative adult is the child who has survived."
