I think Ted R. has described the issue better than I can.

I don't charge for 'thinking' time.  I do charge for 'Design' time, which is 
when I'm writing down draft data structures, menu structures, and control 
flows.  And I show Design and Programming time separately on the bill.  (I also 
show testing time, just to point out that it's something that has to be done.)
