I have analytical brain- it makes connections between things. I'm very good at placing odd things into worlds where they make 'sense', or digging out the hidden plot tanglements between people.
Whereas I have "character-driven brain;" once the tiny, uncertain voice of a new character starts speaking in my head, I immediately pile on the unique personality traits until that character's voice is strong enough for me to write about. And I find inspiration for new characters everywhere - in an interesting-looking person walking down the street, in my friends' co-workers, in an episode of MythBusters, for crying out loud!

Clearly, I have overpopulation issues. :D
