Seriously, what do you normal people think about? You know, when you're just wandering around or waiting for something - what thoughts are in your head? Do you just look and think about the scenery of your location or plan what to have for tea?
It simply baffles me to try and think about other people's thoughts, because I can't imagine what I'd think about without my stories. It may or may not be common knowledge, but I've basically been thinking about stories for as long as I can remember. Sure when I was like... six, they weren't my stories. Then I was thinking about my take on Crash Bandicoot, or Power Rangers, but the matter stands: I was thinking about characters, story-lines and dialogue. I cannot remember thoughts before that stage.
That's not to say I don't think about scenery and tea time, but at least 90% of my daily 'resting' thoughts (when tasked to do something I can usually... 'turn it off') are on my stories. Sometimes it's just playing a certain scene or two, but often I'm actually writing in my head, considering how I'd describe something.
This does make me something of daydreamer / head in the clouds, kind of guy, but I don't care. It's too much fun. If real life wasn't so mind-numbingly boring, I might pay more attention. At least this way, you'll almost never hear me complain that I'm bored!
