I do much the same, i run over dialog or scenes, imagine images whenever i have some spare brain cycles. Driving to the fencing club I run lines with my characters trying to achieve maximum cool. I think about page layouts and timing and perspective shots.
I remember reading an ancillary to the ten-thousand hours of practice that active visualuzation counts. You may meet a master of a craft with 10,000 hours of practice. You know true mastery of a craft when you meet the one with millions of hours of practice because he has been exercising his craft in his head every minute of every day. When it seems like someone has effortlessly elevated their craft without practice, you probably didn't see the wheels churning in their head.
I think that becomes the greatest myth about the creative work...that it just comes to you when you sit down to write or draw or play an instrument. When you're creative you're thinking about it all the time. There's not a week that goes by that I haven't thought about the story of our starving man in the cage at the sideshow...and what a full moon does to him.

Great stuff man. Nothing is hard, it is all just work. You just have to sit in the chair and do it.
Best of luck! Can't wait to see everything come to fruition!
