Everything. Every damn thing. It's like a curse. I think I bought into the Stephen King "ask 'what if...'" thing and now I can't stop.
Yesterday I had to really stop myself from doing it. I was in the shower and noticed a weird bruise on my arm that made no sense. From the placement I couldn't figure out how it had got there. So then I start thinking "What if a character woke up and found this bruise? What would they think? What if they woke up the next day and found another? Is it aliens? Do they sleepwalk? What if it's some weird medical thing? What if it's an omen, or like a Passover Mark, or..." I had to yell at myself as I'm writing too many things already but that's kinda how it goes.
