I sort of working my way through.
Slowly. Who cares about speed, anyway?
I re-read what I have written so far and I sort of like it.
I'm at 2200 now.

My main character is in the forest, where most of his interesting adventures take place.
I made a drawing. I wished to find out more about the story. I just made it up.
Here it is:
Now I keep returning to it and working the story somehow along the drawing.
UPDATED on 20 January:
I have some work to do, so I have less time to 'Halo'.

Do you usually make drawings to help you go with the story along...or dou you have it only in your head?
Do you find drawings liberating or restricting in some way or another?
If you're not writing, do you draw as a hobby?
Apart from this one above I can not draw at all. I regret it though, I wish I could...

I often draw maps for myself for stories or scenes. I've got a bunch of them drawn for the Taleran novels. Cool.
Yes, I often draw maps and/or floor plans.
Very cool, indeed. I like it!
I haven't done it on paper. Only in my head.
Well, I rarely write because I am only good at drawing stickmen and stickwomen but when I draw I am drawing the map of the story but it was only twice and then it was very complex but it's Usually is it under my Crown. :P I don't really enjoy drawing.

I was born as a left hander but my great-grandmother left handers are the evil's friends and she made me change so I am both hander now. I use my right hand for writing but I can write with left a bit. However I use left hand more. I was very young when she told me (like 4-5 years old) that.
Charles and Bernita,
those must be quite interesting and complex systems, I bet.
I think I'm discovering myelf a useful tool that has been used since ages by writers and alike :-o
Vesper,
that can't be very easy, hm?
Ropi,
What a superstition to believe that left handed people are bad or in any way inferior.
I suggest you try to re-claim your left hand!
well it is too late but I am fine like that. My great-grandmother is not alive anymore so I can't ask but she was very religious so maybe because it.
Only in my head :)
Ropi,
oh, yes, some people believe left hads are 'wrong'/'ugly'/'nasty'.
If you are comfortble with using your right hand or both hands, that's quite good!
The trouble is when someone who was originally left-handed, but FORCED to use his right hand. This might result in orientation and maneovering problems sometimes.
Myladysa,
but you do have those photos as well ;-P
Well, my cordination is not the best but it makes me rather funyn that dangerous. :P
I'm not a writer, but I love to draw. That's a very clever map you have drawn. You're not bad at all.
Ropi,
if it is not a problem, than you should not care about it.
Josie,
thank you for your kinds words and for your encouragament.
I almost never draw anything from my stories. I mean, if the idea came to me that way, I'd just do a drawing instead.
But this latest book, I needed to do several figure drawings to map out the climactic fight, even ended up doing a painting....
Steve,
this idea of making a drawing just hit me, and I drew this scheme.
Did you actually make a painting? Wow.
