Welcome to YWS :)
I think it would be interesting, since you have personal experience of it, but I can't really say anything more if you don't tell me anything about the plot.

True. I don't have a plot. But it is an interesting not-so-typical character attribute. So I wanted peoples' opinions. But true. A character can't hold the story by itself. There has to be a good plot. Thanks :)

Purple! This is really ironic! I was just about to send you a message saying you should dabble in short stories! You poetry already tells a story so it's not so far fetched to want to write a longer version.
I love the idea of a deaf MC, and I think that it would appeal to a lot of readers in the deaf community, but as Alvarin said, you have to have a great plot. I can already see this story coming to life and if you need any help, let me know and I'll be glad to shoot you some pointers.

Sounds like a good idea! But you really should think about plot and setting.

Alllso this is the wrong forum for this! Unless, that is, you wish to write a storybook and not a short story. Try the Writer's Corner! Or your wall xD Those forums aren't often checked, I fear. Or maybe they are and I'm just the one that doesn't.

PurpleMoment, I have a significant hearing deficiency and wear hearing aids, so if you have any questions about the hard-of-hearing/deaf world, let me know.
