Haha. Well, actually, I started at Google, then I think I ended up on Deviantart; there was a link there that led to your blog and this post. And then I read someone else's lj that you had a link to, and then... *shrugs* My Internet history is strange.
Awesome! I just read that other post of yours and that was really helpful, too. Now I want to work on a story... Actually, I'd randomly written about a page of a story with a blind character. No idea where I was going with it, but I wanted to write something. It's all from his perspective, and the challenge is to not include ANY visual descriptions - tricky, but fun.
I've read maybe one other person's blog where they complained about people not understanding, and I think the rants are actually more informative than straight-up info, like Wikipedia, if I want to know the direct effects on someone's life and their perspective on it. *wanders off to that metafandom thing for more info*
