Welcome back to The Writing Retreat! Today we're going to chat about aphantasia, or lack of mental visualization, and how that might affect someone's writing.

DISCLAIMER: I have never been formally diagnosed with aphantasia, and I'm frankly still not 100% sure if this term is an accurate description for how my mind works—but I definitely have low to no visualization and I've noticed some unique ways this affects my writing!

thank you for watching :)
