6 Things to Keep in Mind When Writing Blind Characters

Why do we write blind characters? As a blind author, I like to use my disability as my trademark; at some point in each of my stories, a character will either go blind or find themselves in a long-term situation where they’re as good as. Other authors may be trying to spread awareness or perhaps explore what it might be like to live as a person with blindness. Sometimes blindness might give a character a unique edge or flare. And sometimes characters simply fall fully-formed into our psyches, disabilities, and all.
