As a young adult, one of my favorite writers was Beverly Butler. Beverly is blind, and nearly always writes using other senses. She wrote Light A Single Candle, Gift of Gold, and several other books that I really liked. You might try finding one of her books and reading it. It will give you a great example of how to write non-visually. Debby
