Have you ever printed off your whole novel? I’m thinking of printing mine! But how do you physically manage reading and working with a STACK of paper? Do you put it in a binder or something?

I'm seriously just thrown by this. LOL When I say "house" or "volcano" you don't visualize anything?

I'm an outliner and when I write I see the whole thing in my head start to finish and I can hop around if I need to. I can also redesign the outline and adjust the vision. I'm wondering now if i'm more unhinged than I though. LOL Ya'll are scarying me that this isn't normal...

I write a lot by a gut instinct too when something isn't right it feels wrong (plot, development, flow, pacing) and I have this visual of untangling the images/line as I'm rearranging sentence orders or paragraph orders in a chapter.

I didn't not realize everyone didn't fully visualize everything in their head. I can recall so much. I'm a 1 for sure. This reminds me of how some people don't have an inner monologue/voice in their head narrating their thoughts.

Where are you on this scale? I am about 1.5 I wonder whether where you are on this scale correlates with how much description you like in books. If you are a five, do you need more, and 1s need less? 🤔

Writers, have we seen this? I'm genuinely curious about what BYOK is planning to release in their app. I'm a fan of distraction free devices and drafting software like scrivner but this looks like it might be a game changer. piped.video/NdU6zN-29JU?si=hPSh…
