Yup, not just you. IMO, this is one of the best things about knowing other writers and reading about other writers' processes -- before that, all I had was The Unstrung Harp and Mr. Earbrass to validate my process to myself.
My current discussion with myself on this topic involves trying to reframe the metaphor from a turn on the tap/turn off the tap concept (writing/not writing) to a gathering the supplies (ideas), determining the pattern/schematic, composing key elements, layering in materials/mosaic concept. I'm not sure yet if my subconscious is buying it or not. I would say one key part for me is not to have to validate my process with others; it's hard enough to convince myself most days!
Regarding the mouse: um, maybe try a trackball, or another external mouse (possibly even wireless?) Is it the angle of the mouse-parts that's the issue, or where the mouse sits?
