Bonus Tip of the Day: Make a Map!

I would have saved this for another day, but I realized that this is more helpful before starting the project, so here it is: make a map. The map could be just your own house and the surrounding neighborhood, or it could be an intercontinental map of your entire fictional world. Since my project takes place in real Regency England, I am going to print out a map of London during those times and put markers on the most pertinent places.

It helps you be consistent with travel times and set your scenes appropriately.

You can also map the timeline of your characters too. I've been told this is really helpful and lets you have flashbacks that don't accidentally change your characters' ages and such. I will try to do this, if I have time tonight.

Let's go, team!
