So, are you normal, or do other authors sometimes think about the characters in their WIPs and just get so... happy?
Like, you're just filled with such love for the potential this character has, iconic scenes that your brain thinks up on a whim and then forgets (and never makes it to the page) - you listen to audios from edits and can imagine what one might look like. And as you're feeling this genuine elation thinking about these characters, their relationships, you realise you're not thinking about a movie or a book that stuck with you, to the point you delved deeper into the fandoms, unable to get it out of your head. You're thinking about the people you created, the relationships that maybe haven't started yet - they belong to you. You wrote them. You created them.
And then the realisation hits that yes, you created them, so, oh crap, I should probably put my phone down and actually write for once.
Just me? Okay.
