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! 🩵
YES!!! I always write in my head... it's very hard for me to just sit down and write if i don't already have the exact phrasing in my head
It usually just comes to me at random times and I'll turn it over and over in my head until i have enough to actually write down.., I wrote the whole of my fic hand on heart like this, I had it all written out in my head before i actually created the doc😭😭 i thought i was crazy for doing this omg I also have so many random notes of sentences and paragraphs i had stuck in my head hgfdfhj
