Mapvember 2021

Happy November 2021, the month of full-on planning, writing, world building, and other wonders!

Unprepared and (Slightly) Undaunted... Let's Go!

NaNoWriMo + Mapvember = INTERNAL SCREAMING INTENSIFIES! I've created this article to help keep track of the prompts that I do complete. I would be AMAZED if I made it to 21 for the badge, but I'd be far more thrilled if I just manage to break through my writer's block on my NaNoWriMo project.

#Mapvember 2021 List

I've copied over the list of prompts from the Mapvember 2021 post, and I'll link the articles as I make them!

2. A throne room, palace or seat of power
3. A tradition that takes place behind a screen
4. A cupola or dome-roofed building
5. A building known for its stained-glass art
6. A building or landmark infamous for its locks

28. A dangerous location difficult to escape
29. A large cliffside or dangerous drop
30. A bay known as a place of hospitality and entertainment

Looking at some of these, I might go for the one-word prompt since it might make more sense for my world. Fingers crossed!

COMPLETED

1. Bridge
2. Throne - Tangentially related, but not technically all about a "throne." I was heavily inspired by this prompt to start a narrative about the cosmology of Atrareia, and I ended up with this article below. I loosely connected it to a "throne," but it's totally fair if this prompt/article doesn't count. :P
