  • Hmm, I had to google this. I think I do sometimes do this but not often to the extent I would call it a problem. Occasionally it can become so compelling I don't want to stop and can take an hour or more, but usually I just to it to help me fall asleep at night. Although sometimes that doesn't work if it becomes too conscious, if that makes sense?

    I have done novel writing (nothing published, rarely finished, never edited...) which utilises what seems like the same mechanism, such that I would ask what is the difference except the novel writing has a purpose!
