Skipped another meme day because of plague. I'm out of bed today, at least, although this cough feels like a very confused chestburster is lost in my bronchial tubes.
13. What's your favorite culture to write, fictional or not?
Goths! That's goth, not Goth. Goths had fun names (Amalasuntha still being my favorite), but I have not done sufficient research to write about them. Academics seem to be my second-most-common group.
14. How do you map out locations, if needed? Do you have any to show us?
I think of all the important things the locations--be they cities or countries--need, and try to put them together in a sensible but fun way. I use lots of real-world references so things don't get ridiculous, but I have no sense of scale whatsoever. The map from TDC remains my best effort, and it's not without flaws. I hope to develop a more detailed map of Assar before I turn in Kingdoms.
