I needed that. Love your thoughts on maps and how much you enjoy them. I like maps a lot, but just not quite like you. Did you ever see my map of Pan, the imaginary land in my novel Stonebringer? Here's the link if you're interested. http://www.tomhowe.org/images/pan-large.jpg I was a total symboliac when I drew that map, so it's got a lot of numerological coincidences, I guess you could call them, though they weren't coincidental. It was fun to take the scan of the original pencil drawing and try to make it look old on the computer. Not sure it worked exactly right, but still it kinda looks old. Plus added symbolism, of course. Maps are like primers for the imagination: when you have one spread out in front of you, you're half the way there! Thank you again for a great guest post!
