Melanie...that's the writer in you. That's how I look at things too. :) EmpressZario....actually, I have been known to do that too. If I am working out a piece of dialogue, I sometimes say it allowed without realizing what I am doing. The character I'm talking to is in my head. I think everyone has something that makes them uneasy. Yesterday a man got on the bus and sat behind me. He was by himself and he started verbalizing. It's not unusual to have people who talk or sing to themselves on the bus, but what freaked me about this guy is that he was imitated the noises the bus makes when it runs. If a four year old had done the same thing, it wouldn't have bothered me, but there was just something weird about a fifty year old doing it. But I thank you for this thread. I've enjoyed it very much. :)
