So I've been fooling around with how to draw my map accurately for a while - dealing with standard projection issues and all of that. Yassen helped a lot with resizing a map to fit my planet (currently Aphrodite, since it's almost exactly the same size as Venus). Here's pictures of my current solution!
The notion is that I'll have these in a column, and then have 12 columns of them. And if I'm feeling super cool after I've drawn the map out (I think by hand on printed grids) then I can tape each segment to the next and create a rough approximation of a globe.
And now you know the sort of things I do when I'm not writing. Fun, right? Definitely.

I wrote this yesterday evening...
so it's not REALLY a Wednesday post. But close enough, right? There's this cool word count site I found online: http://www.wordcounttool.com/ I think it's a google app, but I'm not sure. I suppose no one else will care, but I thought it was super cool. And useful, since my favorite place to write on my computer is in Text Edit, which is just a basic .rtf and .txt program.
So! Here's my writing. Comments plz.
