That’s my problem! I read letters. I don’t understand how some of you have the “Wait, I’m not watching a movie?” moment. And don’t even get me started on physical characterizations. I know they’re supposed to have soft eyes in that tender moment, but I just. can’t. picture. it. Additionally, when I do try to imagine the action, I’m inevitably thrown off—completely derailed—by how it’s all happening in 3D space. The author obviously has their own vision, and the moment mine doesn’t match up (as in 99,98% of all cases) I’m lost for the rest of the chapter.
To help myself out, I use reading playlists as it makes me feel like I’m reading the book in at least the same place (e.g.I’m a Hogwarts student reading Harry Potter as some sort of biography.) and use Pinterest to visualize physical features or look up how a certain action might play out. But then—cue the chaos—I run into the issue where the characters look SOOOO different from how they’re described. This is why making fanart scares me. I want to stay true to the fandom and canon, but drawing a character in a way that doesn’t align with how I’ve gotten to know them? It feels off, like the same uncanny weirdness the fandom might feel if a character looked nothing like they’re “supposed to.” HDHDHDHND.
I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…
Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?

Random writing thought: the best stories are often the ones that only you could have written — but also the ones that you could only write at this one moment.
I couldn't write All the Birds in the Sky from scratch now if I tried. But the me of 2013 couldn't have written The Prodigal Mother either.

Remember Hind. Remember Reem. Remember all the little boys and girls who are more than mere numbers. They are dreams, humanity's innocence, and most importantly they are not to be forgotten.

Now that gift season is approaching, here's a reminder that local independent bookshops in many countries are organized in websites so you can order whatever book you want and have it delivered. Like Amazon but instead of your money going to a billionaire who mistreats the workers and lobbies politicians to get away with more human right abuses, the money goes to local bookshops. So even if you didn't find what you wanted in your local bookshop (though it's always still worth checking out and the shop keeper will be able to recommend you an alternative or order the one you want!), you can order from a wider range and not contribute to making Amazon a monopoly.
In the UK and USA: Bookshop.org. In the UK there's also Hive.
In Spain: todostuslibros.com
In Italy: bookdealer.it
In France: Librairies Indépendantes and LaLibrairie.com
In Portugal: RELI (Rede de Livrarias Independentes)
In Aotearoa (New Zealand): BookHub
In Bulgaria: libristo.bg, book.store.bg, and knizhen-pazar.net (thank you @samodivas!)
In Germany: genialokal.de (thank you @lazzerot!)
In the Netherlands: libris.nt (thank you @maramontwrites!)
Add yours if we're still missing it! ^^
