If you like maps and journeys you might check out Atticus the Storyteller's 100 Greek Myths, which takes the eponymous hero round Greece, visiting all the sites where the stories 'happened'.

It really does put things in perspective when describing a scene, doesn't it? You've got a great story and your map helps me visualize it more.<BR/><BR/>I've sketched out rough maps for my stories.

It sort of helps to get a visual before the whole book begins, and if it's set somewhere unusual, a map is a great way to orient the reader well before the first word is ever read.

I think this exercise helped me considerably.Some things in the manuscript will change as a result. The main building layout is more difficult to picture and create.
