Hello, I have a writing question. Imagine you have an idea for a fic and thought about the plot, you have an idea what will happen, who the ppl are, etc. When you go about your day (so NOT when you're sitting in front of your laptop/phone to work on it) do you "write" the story in your head? Bc I do, I think about the sentence structure, how I will phrase things, and if I don't like it I "edit" that in my head, change words or the word order. I'm sorry if I phrased that weirdly and it's hard to understand. My question is basically if you form proper sentences in your head when you're not writing in that moment. I was talking to a writer friend and she doesn't do that. Now I'm curious how common/uncommon that is, so I will send this question to a few writers I follow but I'm genuinely interested in every single ones writing and thought process so I would appreciate it if you could answer. Thank you! 🩵
Ooooh hi anonie!! Well, i think it kind of depends? I do get random phrases in my head (that i often time unfortunately forget by the time i get to writing(i should start actually writing them down)) but i would not say i write fic in my head like that? I mostly have concepts for them that i think about in depth. I don’t really plot things, so maybe that’s also why, and it usually works better for me if i just sit down maybe write a list of things i would like to maybe happen and then just yap into my doc
