New Story Idea Progress

The storyline for my book is really coming along! I'm getting more and more excited every day. My husband is so good and listens to me when I need to bounce ideas off of him and gives me really good feedback, which is great because it sparks new ideas. I'm adding more layers to the plot all the time, carefully crafting this story layer by layer.

The last few days I've actually been working on the map of the land in the story. I'm not gonna lie, I sat and stared at the blank page having NO idea even where to start. I tried to find some map generators after a while to see if I could get SOMETHING to start with, but I ended up just looking through a bunch of different map examples and just decided to just draw a shape and add some mountains and figure out the rest from there...and it worked! My only problem now is that I'm just drawing on small notebook pages so things are a little crammed in there so I'm going to have to get some bigger paper or just tape a few together or something. The map will really help with moving the storyline along because I'll kind of know where the characters are going and what stands in their way. I will also be able to figure out what I want to add to the map if I want something in the story that's not where it should be on the map.

This story is going to be pretty awesome. There will be a lot of action, magic, power, all sorts of characters, mythical creatures, drama, and plenty of adventure. And of course, Dragons. :D
