White room syndrome is an easy pitfall for any writer to run into, especially when you’re describing a secondary world. So, it’s important to understand the problem and know how to write setting descriptions-and how to avoid situations when there’s not enough in your writing. But not too much, of course. That’s a whole other can of worms.
We invited author B.H. Pierce to help us talk about white room syndrome, writing vivid descriptions, and writing with aphantasia (an inability to visualize images in one’s mind).
