Writing Meme, Day 28

28. Have you ever written a character with physical or mental disabilities? Describe them, and if there’s nothing major to speak of, tell us a few smaller ones.

The only character I can think of with a major disability (and it doesn’t inhibit her in life, just in her chosen profession) is Alicia from TSP, who was born blind in one eye.  Of course she wants to be in the army, and the army requires two eyes.

I do harm Kindra to the point that she can’t use her right arm for half of the book.  That really annoys her, since she is a warrior and she hates being weak.

I have written a character who went crazy before, and that was actually pretty fun (it was a fanfic character, so I won’t bother elaborating).  And for a little while Holly kind of loses her mind (when the manticore first attacks her), but I switched the book to Brett’s POV to make it easier to read for that part.
