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! 🩵
i will sometimes think of banger lines that absolutely need to be used, or specific dialogue moments, but overall i'm not writing the exact sentences because my memory is ASS and i would never remember it when i get the chance to write it down. So it's a little bit of both but mostly no i'm not forming the majority of my writing in proper sentences until it's getting onto the page!
