[Kristin Miller]

Thank you D. That’s a good idea. That’s also what I thought on the marshmallows, so thank you.

> To answer your immediate question, I suppose when people think of plain marshmallows they think of white ones. More generally, I know that some writers use consultants when they are writing from the perspective of characters that are not their own perspectives. I don’t see why you couldn’t have someone do something similar. To elaborate a non-disabled person writing from the perspective of a disabled character might have someone who shares the same disability as the character read in their work to make sure that all of the actions and perspectives are accurate to the experience of being disabled. So you could enlist a sighted person or at least someone with more site than you have to read your work after you have written it and point out any mistakes you’ve made in describing visual aspects of the world your building.

As someone who can’t see colors, what’s the best way to find out what colors look like and to describe fur patterns? For example, I want to say that one of my creatures is a marshmallow color. Now I know there are different colored marshmallows, and maybe this seems like a silly question, but aren’t there plain colored marshmallows? And if so, what color are they? I feel a little weird asking this because I feel like I should know. I just don’t want to describe something as one thing and be totally off and make my creatures sound crazy. Hope this makes sense.
