Writingness of the day: Today Charged with Folly passed a milestone: it graduated from a manila folder to a three-ring binder. I'm at 6500 words plus probably another 10k in notes.

I also started drawing maps. When the three-ring binder and the maps start coming on, it is Significant.

I was drawing maps for the novella, "The Heart of the Western Tide," too. That must also be a serious contender for writeworthiness. I don't generally draw maps for my short stories. Maybe that's the problem with them.

Ooo, maps. I love drawing maps. :)

They're loads of fun, aren't they? I wish I knew a cool software for map drawing for the Mac. I've been "roughing it" with my ancient MacDrawPro and Intaglio.

I still do mine with paper, pencil, and pen. :)

Mine might as well be hand drawn. They're fairly crude. Which is not to say all hand drawn things are crude, but mine are. I'm even worse at drawing. Whatever, I really get into it and can lose hours that way.

Making maps are definitely fun and a time sink fo rme, too.
