Narrative:
I was cleared to take off on runway 10R at the B3 intersection with instructions to turn right to a heading of 180 degrees. For whatever reason, I had it in my mind that I was departing runway 28L in the general direction of my destination. So I read back 'cleared to take off runway 28L with a left turn to 180 degrees.' in the takeoff roll, the tower controller advised me to hold my position and execute a 180 degree turn on the runway, then proceeded to explain to me what I did wrong. There was another airplane on final for runway 10R, that I believe was still 5 mi out, however, I'm not sure of the exact distance. The tower controller was very polite, professional, and extremely accommodating. I appreciated this very much and he quickly had me on my way.
