Hello @khoola,
You gave yourself a challenging writing exercise and you gave readers a vivid impression of 'seeing' the world when blind. Your evocation of touch, smell, sound, and even sight is powerful. His perception suggests to us that he has lost his sight, not that he was blind from birth. He has clear idea of how things appear.
You did a wonderful job, not only with the prompt, but with your insight and story structure. Thank you for sharing this moving story with us. We appreciate that you engage with the community.
Thanlk you very much...
Yes, It was quite the task for me... how to write a story from a blind persons perspective when I myself am not blind (I just couldn't let go of the idea no matter how challenging it is). Also trying to write it exactly how I pictured it is quite... hard.
In my research: for people that are blind from birth "for them being blind is normal" but people whom lost their sight have an entirely different situation ahead of them.
Thank you very much.. I really appreciate your support!
