Authors/Artists/other creators with Aphantasia?
1 min readByAkshaya Sutrave
So about a year ago, I discovered I have aphantasia. At first, that didn't sit well with me, because I love writing and art and I couldn't reconcile that with the complete lack of visualization.
I dug up some information on the internet and learnt a few interesting things: for example, how writers with aphantasia reconstruct scenes almost like a list of facts and use words as tools instead of directly describing stuff from their mind's eye.
I've subconsciously done the same all these years without even realizing it.
Creators with aphantasia, let's share our experiences and see how much we actually have in common!
Aphantasia in creators is severely under researched and it's a very interesting topic to delve into. I think this deserves more research!
