Do you like/use maps in books? If you create worlds, how do you decide what that world looks like? I finally did a thing I’ve talked about for a while! So my #CurrentWIP takes place in an entirely new land of my creation. So @graydeej was kind enough to lend me her dice collection to create some maps. The idea is you spread them out (some people go bigger than this) and the numbers on the dice represent topography - either elevations or tree coverage or type of landscape (e.g. 1 thru 7 is grassland, 8 thru 13 is forest, etc.). And of course one of the resident kitty cats insisted on “supervising” from my lap. I kind of want to create a bajillion more now 😝. . . . #author #authorsofhinstagram #authorsoftumblr #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #fantasy #fantasyauthor #fantasywriter #indieauthor #read #reading #writer #writerscommunity #writerslife #writersofinstagram #writersoftumblr #yaauthor #yalit #yawriter #mapcreation #fantasyworld

And now for something completely different. My big sis is starting an athletic apparel company to solve the problems so prevalent in that area - I'm looking at you workout clothes without pockets 👀. More news to come, but you can follow her feed @5thgenapparel for news and the link to the website. Congratulations, Heather! 😆🎉. #notabookstagrampost

“The choosing of the potato is an important and personal time for every Bonsai Potato artist. To interpret the inner vision of the potato, great care should be taken to ensure your vital energies are in order. Remember, you are not controlling the potato, you are merely acting as a means for the potato to realize it’s own artistic destiny. A true bonsai potato artist will learn to recognize and honor the intentions of the potato.” ~The Art of the Bonsai Potato 🥔. 🏷 #maymoods19 - silly 😜. Happy Monday, friends! Show of hands for who thinks Monday mornings need to run at half speed. You know, just to give us a chance to catch up. Got to spend some quality catch-up time with @hannahpickering this morning and going to a wedding this evening, so that’s pretty much my day in a nutshell. ❓ #QOTD - is Monday the worst day for you or is there one that you struggle with more? . . . #booknerd #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #bookworm #read #reader #reading #lovetoread #bookdragon #bookwyrm #booknerd #booknerdigans #danafraedrich #potatobonsai #theartofthebonsaipotato
