Q: Are you traveling anywhere this summer? We're planning to travel to Louisiana to visit my family in July, and we've promised to take the 4yo to see alligators. He seems to think he's going to be a Wild Kratt. ⁣ #storierealms #mapmonday The map that's the background in my quote picture above is on a wood backboard and is actually drawn in color. It's not probably an old map, really, but it's made to look like one, and I love it. Unfortunately, I have an A-frame house and we've run out of space to hang things on the walls, so right now it's just sitting against the wall in my office.⁣ ⁣ Probably this prompt was for sharing maps of favorite fantasy worlds. I'm reading Fawkes right now and loving it, but it's set in historical England, so it doesn't really need a map. And I'm writing a contemporary fantasy set in #Roanoke, VA, and in parts of south Louisiana, so I don't have a map for that. But if you swipe, you can see a shot of a map for another novel that isn't my current #WIP that I have a lot of #worldbuilding done on.⁣ ⁣ Do you make maps for your stories? Do you consult the maps in books when they're included? #amwriting #amreading #fantasybooks #christianfiction #newadultbooks #NAromance #nafantasy
Q: What is something you like to do to start every day?⁣ ⁣ I'm a day late for this #wisdomreadalong prompt: Do you read your Bible in the morning or afternoon? And since I work in youth ministry and am working on several faith-based writing projects, the answer can vary. But I do read for me, with the purpose of study, in the mornings. And here's why:⁣ ⁣ Because anything I don't do first thing may not get done. My friend @katelynneshepard referred to this once tithing the time. Setting aside some of the day first thing before things get messy for God so that the foundation is already set for that turn of the clock, and I think it makes a huge difference in my life.⁣ ⁣ @bohobookdragon said on her stories a few weeks ago that we make time for the things that are important to us. She said this in reference to finding the time to write (or whatever we're about creatively), but it's so true for everything in life. If you don't make the time NOW, will you actually make the time LATER? . #amwriting #amreading #christianfiction #christianfantasy #christianromance #bible #biblestudy
