Resources For Writing Deaf, Mute, or Blind Characters

Despite the fact that I am not deaf, mute, or blind myself, one of the most common questions I receive is how to portray characters with these disabilities in fiction.

As such, I’ve compiled the resources I’ve accumulated (from real life deaf, mute, or blind people) into a handy masterlist.

New year writing goals

Trying to write more often is self-care. We write because we love it. Let's not make it a chore.

There is more to writing than getting words on the page. Research, plotting, outlining, daydreaming, making moodboards... all that is writing.

Not being able to write some days is NOT failure. Breaks are essential to refill your creative energy. Maybe just listen to your writing playlist and relax a bit or read a book or watch a show that inspires you.

Word counts are not absolute. If you realize you can't achieve your word count in the set timeframe, revise it. It's NOT failure, it's being efficient and aware of your own energy.

Be kind to yourself. Not finishing your goal is okay. Just engage with your creativity. Your mental health is more important.

— YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES against the hot stage lights and breathe in adrenaline-soaked air. all you feel is fear, but you can’t allow yourself to be you at the moment. instead, you must slip into the skin of another, a character created over five hundred years ago. “in troy, there lies the scene.” your voice, shakespeare’s words. you chance a glance stage right. fourteen of your peers wait solemnly, curt nods urging you on.

your director, orson hobbs, waits beside them. his gaze pierces. his eyes unpeel you slowly, searching for every hairline fracture, every wisp of a flaw. he enjoys the art of tearing apart and remaking people. later, you think, he will pull you aside and rip you to shreds. perfection, he says, demands cruel management.

what you don’t know, what no one knows, is that there is no “later” for orson hobbs. by night’s end, he will be tangled in a shakespearean plot of his own. no one, not even police, will be able to discern the full story; but when his body is found the next morning, there can be no question that he was murdered.

murdered, perhaps, by the very students he worked so hard to teach.
