Well, maybe "theme" is not quite the right word.
I'm doing a final edit of my current WIP and I've suddenly realised that each time somebody is in my main character's flat, they look for food and are disappointed to find "only vegetables" or "no snack foods". It almost comes across as a running joke, but I was totally unaware of it!
I also had quite a few scenes where one character watched another as they slept - had to delete some of these as it was getting a bit weird. And I also revealed my own habits as my characters put on the kettle for tea at every chance they get.
Do you guys have these kinds of unintended writing patterns?
