Today we learned about making maps as a method of world building. This, like mythology, can either be for your own purposes or for publishing. We discussed several different effects a map can have on a story, like travel time and character culture. We also gave tips on what good fictional maps have, from focusing on small areas to natural land masses to infrastructure.
We worked on drawing our own maps during the lesson, and I hope to see more maps next Tuesday!
This week's writing prompt is: finish your map, and swrite abut the meaning of the different parts of it.
