So, sometimes my brain moves too fast for my fingers when I write, and I end up jumping to the next sentence or idea before I finish the last one. Not wanting to waste a good line (or what feels like a good line), I let myself do this and employ brackets to keep track of the empty spaces I need to go back and fill in. Projects generally end up looking like this:

“What are you thinking about?” Elle asked again, laughing this time.

“Oh, um…you,” I said. That was probably the safest answer. 

One time, in my Honors thesis, I forgot to take out some of the brackets before I submitted the final version.
