I'm wondering if I think too much about my writing and stories. I don't necessarily force myself to think about them. Since I was in sixth grade and first started developing these sort of things, I would lie in bed at night and put myself through certain scenarios from plots. I still do this, I think, every night unless I'm too exhausted; and in the day, when I'm not doing something that requires much mental concentration, I'll usually do the same. Even when I haven't a current project, this happens. Often, I will go off on my own (walk, bike ride, etc.) to think about these things without interruption. I think it is good in a way, because I'm able to understand so much more about the characters and plots, but I can't help but wonder if this is normal for wannabe-writers. I also have certain social anxieties - things that were evident from a young age - and I wonder if that might have something to do with it, if it's not entirely usual.
Do I think too much about my writing/stories? Is this normal?
