Everything for me is visual. That's just how my head works.

I write on a visual canvas, 'seeing' a scene in my thoughts before translating it into language, so I'm a visual junkie.

I was always a visual person. I could see things visually. I had a harder time with numbers and logic, and I always had more of an artistic sensibility. So that I could do. And it was something that I really loved.

I was a painter before I was a writer, so I was always a visual artist. And my writing, to me, was always visual.

I grew up doing theatre and spent a long time as a playwright. I still think very visually when I write.

I am a visual person, given that I am deaf.

I have always been a very visual person and a keen observer.

I am primarily a writer of books, and I enjoy that. But I come to realize that a lot of people prefer a visual medium.

Still, I tune out the visual input when it is too distracting, mainly in conversations.

Writers divide fairly cleanly into those who only work through what they hear and those who are more visual. I am the latter, where I lie down on my office floor and play scenes through my head to - cinematically, several times with different elements - to see what works. I can't write a scene until I can see it.
