Is this something that's a common experience? How much time do you spend, either directly or peripherally, thinking about your stories? Planning for them? Plotting?

Most of my waking hours. It's insane. I completely agree. My story has me hooked, there is no escape. I find myself re-running scenes in my head, trying out different things that a character might say or do. I find myself just completely making up scenes that have absolutely no impact on the plot whatsoever, but are just fun to see. They're mostly arguements between two of my characters. I've used two of them that I thought up of, and only cuz I was able to fit them in somehow into the storyline.
I am redrawing my maps everyday, trying out different spellings of names, doodling little pics of Aven, drawing the Leafstone, polishing up the grammar and such of my language. Working out this one character who won't do anything...(still working on that guy! Yeesh! *pokes Gahren* please do something!) In short, my story has taken control of every waking thought in some way or another. I went to an animethon this weekend and during this one movie, there was a character with white hair and pointy ears and green eyes and all I could think of was how much he looked like Aven! Except...he was the bad guy...heheh. ^.^
