Queen of Swords: research
Working on the setting for the first three chapters of the new novel, along with bits of dialogue and description and an overall plan. Coming together slowly. When a lot of action is dependent on geography I usually do some close sketches to keep myself oriented as I write. This is the rough sketch for the fictional island in the Antilles that I've been working with. It's called L'Île de Lamantines, or Island of the Manatees (click to expand, but be warned, the full sized graphic is big).
I add to the notes on the sheet as I come across details in my reading. When I'm finally finished with this it will be quite crowded with text.
