#the day i learnt some of my closest friends see NOTHING when they read?!! unfathomable

this is so interesting bc same!!!

one day when i’m famous and have a better sample size i want to poll this…

do all writers work this way? does everyone who thinks this way write?? how do people experience this differently with poetry, with prose, with dialogue, with descriptions?

is it literally just you’re a writer if you’re blessed/cursed with The Visions?!! or are there writers somehow managing to create art with words alone…

hi max :)

this is a little based off my response to ur last ask but now i’m curious…how do you see your stories in your head?

is it words that come to you while you write? or a movie in your mind? audio? do you see anything at all when you read, or just understand the words.

i’m so eternally curious knowing that different people process the same media in completely different mediums

'movies' and audio are usually the most common. i can see my stories play out in my head and hear my characters speak; i know what their voices sound like. i see stories when i read. my brain just works in images.

the images in my head are also frequently accompanied by prose. my mind just starts saying stuff and i'm like oh, oh ok. (it's rare but not impossible for prose to appear on its own.)

thanks for the ask!!
