Map for LH Midsummer Madness II novel outline

I like to do maps, so I decided to share this one I did as a guide to creating the journey for the main character, a 16 or 17 year old girl who’s given the greatest power in her world, but lacks the means to use it and is pursued by those who would kill her to obtain it.
When I wrote my Bellian novel, I used the same approach. Draw a map. Draw a journey. Fill in the blanks with lots of action, angst and twists and turns. I’ll do this one as well, but I will need to draw the characters more finely for the female YA audience and put in more emotion.

Hi Ken
I find making a map is necessary too, the sooner the better for helping to sort out the details of the world. I write YA fantasy too. My last map was more of a drawing because the action takes place on a mountain and when I tried to draw it from above, the places ended up almost on top of each other.
It’s a good idea to put it on your blog. I should do that too. If you’re interested, you can read ch1 of the novel, ‘Lethal Inheritance’ at http://publishersearch.wordpress.com/lethal-inheritance/
