I don't think that this is either the place or the time, guys. Can we get back on topic?

I agree. Dusk, how do you think?

Mostly a visual thinker, I think. And a repetitive thinker. I like working things over in my mind a lot and the more images I can bring up for whatever I'm thinking about the better things seem to go. Abstract thought and thought that revolves around numbers don't go so well for me...

I think in Time. Now is one time, and future and past are others.
I write in images, which are the same as words.
I certainly don't picture my life as a visual totality. I'm not sure...I guess, what you guys are talking about. Maybe I think differently? Maybe I think in the Now. Except when not...I mean, I daydream a lot. Situations have possible nows branching off from them. Creation is a function of Time and Intelligence...both of which writers have control over in the subworld of the Plot (muse, story-movie, whatever you call it, if you know it).
I learned very young not to trust my eyes, because I have astigmatism and almost total lack of depth perception. Not fun for the driving, that. But I think it's connected.
What a fascinating thread topic this is. I hope I havn't said anything too strange, only discussion worthy.
Now I have to go to Calculus. Blargh.
Wierd pairings could be a conversation by themselves...perhaps I shall read that fic just to try and see how and perhaps why Snape/Hermione would ever work.

Abstract thought and thought that revolves around numbers don't go so well for me... Oh my gosh, I do that too. Sometimes I'll have something on my mind, and it will keep entering my mind and change or be worked out some more each time for weeks at a time. I guess that's why I dwell on things so much. . . Yeah, I'm not sure why I'm a visual thinker - I'm nearsighted and have an astigmatism as well. Perhaps it's because I had pretty good vision as a younger child, and that's when I developed my sense of thought. Though when I dream or imagine elaborate places or people, it's usually a little blurry in places. It's sad because I sometimes have trouble picturing people's faces clearly and accurately in my mind, even those who I am very close to. Yeah, you really should read it. Though it will make it a whole lot easier if you try not to think of it as Snape and Hermione. Anyway, I suppose all writers, even the most out-of-the-box thinkers among them, think alike in some ways. Heck, if we couldn't imagine scenes and such, how would we ever write a story?

With great difficulty.

I always end up picturing everything before I write it. Usually the end is what comes first, then the first, then in the middle... is when I loose the whole thing.

I tend to have a flash of a scene (normally one that I wanna film), write it down, then say to myself 'Tell me the story'. Over a few more days, my mind will give me more scenes, which I write down. When it's given up, I fill in the blanks.

When it's given up, I fill in the blanks. That's how it happens to me. But of course, one of my gigantic flaws as a writer is that I usually don't fill in the blanks very well. . . My mind thinks in scenes and not stories, I suppose.

Same here. I usually rush to get to my next big scene, so it rarely makes any sense in the end.

And sometimes I'll imagine something in perfect detail, and I write with very little detail, like you already know exactly what I'm describing because you're a mind-reader.

I just started an idea for a new story. And it all came to me because I was having a really hard time dealing with a lot of things, and I said to myself; "Remember how to breathe." And I just instantly got all these idea's to make that a story. So now im in the process of creating a story called, "How to Breath". ;D
