How do you make your imagination more vivid? I have a hard time creating faces in my mind that follow character descriptions, sometimes I have to look up actors or drawings to get a better feel. I have an even harder time trying to imagine medieval clothes. Then lastly it is impossible for me to imagine good-looking buildings, I would have a hard time imagining above if it was written in text. I would love to have detailed imagination but its hard.

This is going to sound horrible but have you ever considered the possibility that you may be slightly autistic?

There's a severe lack of smart writers. I wish more Asian novels would be translated instead of only their pop trash like Three Body Problem. I bet there are tons of untranslated gems.

From the stuff I see at novelupdates I have to agree. The novel scene moves so fast with new tropes and innovations its pretty insane, in just a few years you get like a thousand different flavors for subgenres.

The Asha'man were way too based to deserve Sanderson's shitty ending to their plotline.
