One of my favorite things to do is to brain storm about the 'why not'
or 'why can't it be done' or 'figure it out' kind of stuff.


"Brain storming" requires more than one...now I'm *really* starting to
worry about you! (ʘ言ʘ•¬)

I disagree. I think you are confusing brainstorming with think tank.

================================================== ===============
Brainstorming can be done alone or in groups. The term "think-tank"
refers to a group that brainstorms. Studies show that group
brainstorming is much more productive than doing it alone.

Individual brainstorming

"Individual brainstorming" is the use of brainstorming in solitary. It
typically includes such techniques as free writing, free speaking, word
association, and drawing a mind map, which is a visual note taking
technique in which people diagram their thoughts. Individual
brainstorming is a useful method in creative writing and has been shown
to be superior to traditional group brainstorming.[6][1]
