Two things.

First, my friend Graeme Brown recently published a novella called the Pact. Brown is a prolific world builder and proponent of outlining. He’s taught me that a published book contains only a fraction of an authors efforts.

Case in point, Brown keeps stacks of notes detailing every aspect of his built-world, which will never see the light of day. He also makes maps, and was kind enough to share one with me.

Second, my other friend Alexis has created a tie in blog for his web comic LOVELYSS. The blog follows the fictional gonzo reportage of Nicker Blue Kiss, who I’m assuming is a space journalist of some kind. I think its wonderful.
