19.Do you make up scenes at work/on the bus/at the gym? Who are the characters that pop up the most? Do you write them down?
Oh yeah, I make up scenes all the time, and lines of dialogue and (very) vague outlines of plots and things like that. Usually very out of context and not really tied to any specific story or setting, or even any character in particular, but I'll slip them into something at some point and bash them into more specific shape when I do. Or just carry them around in my head for a few days, or months, or years in some cases. I'm a bit inconsistent when it comes to writing them down - I will occasionally, but quite often I just file them in my brain and they'll come back to me at some point. I tend to do a lot more planning in my head than in actual writing, which can have its disadvantages given how prone I am to getting distracted by different ideas and not coming back to the original one for quite some time, by which time it's probably mutated into something else entirely.
