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

In 1963, the Moscow-Washington hotline was installed to let the two countries talk quickly without the usual delay of diplomatic channels. To test the line, the first message sent was “THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPED OVER THE LAZY DOG’S BACK 1234567890.” It quite confused the English translators in Moscow!

I’m all here for the girls constantly pulling their mirrors out of their designer bag and checking their gloss, reapplying and pouting. The girls who spend forever in the bathroom staring at themselves, playing with their hair. The girls who love wearing falsies 24/7. All that extraness and vanity. I eat it up.

lmao i lost at least 7 followers after reblogging that…. anyway if you exclude nonbinary people you’re ignoring the white stripe of the trans flag; aces and aros are not straight and thus lgbt+ because theyre literally not attracted to the opposite sex, trans women are real women, and physical dysphoria is not required to be considered trans

Medieval island: Le Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, France.

anyone else sometimes listen to “prom queen” by beach bunny, as motivation for your ED, even though it’s supposed to be a commentary about how awful it is that society’s expectations for girls cause them to starve and harm themselves,

Reblog if you think its just as bad if a woman rapes/assaults a man too

i’ve been really struggling to find the energy for anything lately. it really doesn’t matter what i do or take. caffeine definitely doesn’t seem to help (i’m a fan of sugar free red bull and black coffee), and i can barely pick up my body some days.

if anyone sees this and could suggest something that may help (maybe even just a lil bit), i’d really appreciate it!

‘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
