Writing a Blind or Visually Impaired Character

A Multi-Step Guide Written by a Visually Impaired Writer and Blogger

I’m hoping this blog will over time develop its own following, and when it does people will inevitably see my bio and notice what I included: I’m visually impaired.

Yes, a visually impaired writer, and I’ve written with two blind characters before so I have some practice in the field.

So, inevitably, someone is going to ask how to write a blind character.

Or, at least, I hope you’ll ask someone who’s actually blind or visually impaired about writing a blind character before you get too involved with your new WIP.

I started writing this guide two hours ago and it’s gotten away from me. It make it a more manageable read, I’m going to separate it into X many parts, and each part will be linked.

Part One: Crafting the Blind Character

It's disgusting that people's accounts are being terminated. For what? We have an ed, a mental disorder. You wouldn't report someone for having anxiety or depression, so why report someone with ed? It's selfish. Especially considering that this may be their only place to vent. You're taking away our safe space. You wouldn't do that to people with other mental disorders, so why us?

BTD/TDDUP:  Who’s the most dangerous human character?

There is a counterpart post to this for the supernatural BTD characters already posted here if you want to check that out :P

I love the human characters in the BTD/TDDUP series.  Probably a little more than the supernatural characters to be honest.  When it comes to who I think is the most dangerous in regards to the public/humanity, I had to put quite a bit of thought into this.  I don’t really have a ranking system for these, but the main things I thought about were body count, level of sadism, and physique/intellect.

 I’m also going to be thinking about the difference here between who is actively the most dangerous vs. others who are potentially more dangerous.  But the real rating will be based on who’s “actively” more dangerous.

‘eat the frog' method

Hi all, it’s werelivingarts. I just stumbled across this method called ‘eat the frog’, which means you get the most difficult or important task out of your way first. I actually have been using this method for a long time, hope this post gives you a new way of managing your time and productivity! 😜 ❤️

“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” – Mark Twain 

LAST POSTS BEFORE DEATH:

Alex Sullivan - Killed by mass murder, James Holmes, during a midnight screening of ‘The Dark Night Rises’ in 2012.

Darren Mitchell - This was Mitchell’s final post before he and his car were swept away in the 2016 Texas floods. Mitchell’s body was discovered more than a mile downstream from where his overturned truck was located.

Dorothy Dutiel - Dutiel killed her best friend, and ex-girlfriend, May Kieu, before killing herself on a patio at Independence High School. The murder-suicide was determined to be fuelled by Kieu no longer loving Dutiel.
