Like I said it's not usually a very visual process for me... I'm not that good at visualization, it kind of flashes in and out, so anything really detailed is pretty much pointless and I'd have better luck writing down a description. Any dialog I have is kind of just directed at "the other side of my brain" which will then come back with agreement or a different perspective. Sounds so weird to write this out, lol. I honestly never put that much thought into it all. It doesn't seem to negatively affect my life in any way, if anything it's a product or corollary of me being kind of a loner.
Amiana, I think I'll trade your pacing for my talking to and answering myself. Talk about awkward when someone catches you. And it's never understandable things like "okay and this wire goes here, now flip the switch..." No, it'll be some completely random discussion about world history or religion or something. I mean I get why I talk out loud, it's because my internal monolog is screwed up and sometimes I get lost (or talk over myself? lol) and have to start over if I can't actually hear what's being said.
