Can You Infer & Picture? (part 2 of 2)

Hanna, JB, and I use a series of short passages from Stephen King’s book, “On Writing,” to explore whether you can infer and picture at the same time, and if not why not. While doing this, we make new discoveries regarding how “picturing things, one at a time” is NOT THE SAME as “picturing a story.” We also discover support for the order in which discoveries are best made (feelings, facts, stories, ideas) and why ideas first prevents new discoveries. This is part 2.
