It wasn’t as if you were an antisocial person. In fact, it was quite the opposite. But no human being can go on talking forever, can they? But of all times for the words not to come, why did it have to be now? A ghost of a sigh parted your lips, and you glanced around the Shutoku basketball team’s locker room.

This is false, but the young woman has learned to point to what she wants, instead of repeating herself over and over, uselessly ejecting quiet words again and again from her sparrowlike body. Her food is always the same: pink yogurt. Fruit crepe, strawberries, banana. A muffin, if she's hungry after that.She sits down and rocks stiffly, her back hitting the soft padded booth behind her. Wham. Wham. Wham. She sits in the same enclosed corner every time; the same seat, if possible. She wears thick headphones with the song of the day on repeat. Wham. Wham. Wham.She has heard sni

6 Tips for Mapping a Fictional World Anybody Can Write a Novel 2.0 Chapter 3 “World Building” – Section 2 “Maps” (Previous Tutorial)             (Next Tutorial)  “I wisely started with a map, and made the story fit (generally with meticulous care for distances).
