absolutely nothing...

JKJK this is a great question i've never actually thought about what goes on in the noggin' when i'm writing.... if anything the first thing i would say is the words i'm currently reading on the page. i reread my wips A LOT. like over and over again. so usually my head is full of internal monologue of me rereading sentences and paragraphs. the second thing is i think of sentences BEFORE i write them down. this helps me a lot because i'd like to think my sentences sound better/more poetic in my head than on paper. so it kinda tricks me to writing something down. even if i hate it later, i can always delete but it helps to get the thoughts on paper and to keep going. third, i'm always thinking of my themes and motifs in the fic. they drive my stories and i HATE using a metaphor/analogy/motif only to never bring it up again in the fic. i personally like to bring everything back full circle; it makes the fic feel more complete to me. so i'm always thinking about when i can bring up a certain motif or theme again.

thanks for asking, tooth anon cutie patootie <3
