I’m trying to construct the map for this fantasy world and all it gives me is a headache. I feel so far out of my depth that I don’t begin to understand how to get to where I want to get. In fact, I don’t know where to start. In fact, I don’t know what I want the world to look like. I prefer to have a picture of a world all premade and from there shape the human conflicts that impact that space. There are a few things within the world which I feel I need in order to tell the part of the story I know, but for the most part, I am struggling with getting started with all of it. This is what comes of drifting away from fantasy for the better part of twenty years. That, and my headspace for the day is entirely out of whack.
Perhaps this is the day where I say, let it go, and fall back to simpler thoughts and ideas. I don’t have to get everything perfect today. I just need to know that I am trying to get moving forward.
