Hey, guys! I'm currently going back and revising a story I finished and I need some advice/resources.
So, in my story I have a sixteen-year-old character who goes blind after being able to see for her entire life up until this point. The tricky thing is, the story is written 1st-person duel-narritve, partially from her perspective, partially from the perspective of a friend who is helping her. I have little knowledge or real-life experience when it comes to blindness or being around someone who is blind and I feel I could write those parts better if I was better versed in the subject or knew how other writers have done it.
I think what would be most helpful to me would be recommendations of other fictional books involving blind characters, but any tips, videos or advice in general would be extremely helpful.
She goes blind due to being hit with magic and it only makes her blind for about a month, so obviously this is a very different situation than if someone were to go blind in real life, but I thought I'd mention it just in case it was helpful.
Thank you so much for any advice you may have!
