Not really sure how to explain it but once I'm tired and my brain starts looking at every word my reading slows right down and my comprehension actually goes down as well. Otherwise I'm a very quick reader.
It did explain why I'm so ####ty at drawing, anyways.

This was a big one for me when the topic of mind images was brought up. I feel like I can come up with images in my head, but if you were to ask me to draw something simple (a cow, for example), I can't hold an image in my head that's complete enough to get it onto paper.
I think the question of inner-anything has got to be way more complicated than we appreciate because we can't experience anybody else's mind. The levels of detail must be all over the map. Before somebody raised the drawing problem, I would've told you I absolutely can see images in my head... now not so much.
