As children as we learn what things are we are slowly learning to dismiss them visually. As adults entirely submerged in words and concepts we spend almost all of our time thinking and worrying about the past and the future hardly ever looking at or engaging with the world visually.

The fact that books today are mostly a string of words makes it easier to forget the text. With the impact of the iPad and the future of the book being up for re-imagination I wonder whether we'll rediscover the importance of making texts richer visually.

Habitual texters may not only cheat their existing relationships they can also limit their ability to form future ones since they don't get to practice the art of interpreting nonverbal visual cues.

What's funny about that is when I was writing Twilight just for myself and not thinking of it as a book I was not thinking about publishing and yet at the same time I was casting it in my head. Because when I read books I see them very visually.

If you look closely there is no book more visual than Three Trapped Tigers in that it is filled with blank pages dark pages it has stars made of words the famous magical cube made of numbers and there is even a page which is a mirror.

It has been said that 80% of what people learn is visual.

When I began to choreograph and find my way pulling other artists' dreams out and changing music in a visual way there was still a part of me that had something more to say. There was still a desire to rock a stage and ultimately perform the eight count of my dream but there was a lot of insecurity there.

Different people have different styles but there is an opportunity as a director to be a writer in every moment with every visual cue and every piece of production design. Everything is a decision and everything can be obsessed over.

Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design more visually driven.

Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways.
