One of the first things I did when I began writing Ash was sketch out a map of Ash’s world. This was mostly because I like drawing maps of fantasy worlds (another thing I did during my super-geeky teen years), not because I was trying to be geographically accurate. (When you read Ash you’ll realize that the geography of her world moves around to suit my needs.)
Anyway, I thought you guys might like to see the map, so I’ve redrawn it and added some color. Here it is:
Obviously, this map is not drawn to scale! So look at it with a grain of salt.

So cool,simple yet effective. Like the way you’ve done all the trees.
Did you do any other drawings or “Conceptual art” to help visualise your world?
And as a world creator you have every right to move the borders as you see fit
Cheers
I’ve gotta say I’m impressed by this…mainly because I am one of those writers who other artistic abilities are virtually non existent.
Did you find having this little map when you were writing helped you visualize the story better?
