Committing map

I’m about to commit map¹. I’ve been deliberately trying to hold it all in my head to avoid the mistake of not leaving myself enough room to play with in future, or the temptation of join-the-dots quest plotting. But I need to work some things out about the layout of the University that nothing short of scribbling them down will do. It’s just enough different from what you’d get by mashing a few Cambridge colleges together that my mental model is having trouble holding together.

It’s not cat-vaccuuming. (Although blogging about it may be.) Thinking about it has already cleared one bit of awkward plot for me (I just needed to change which side of the river the back porters’ lodge is on). I’m hoping to post some new content after Easter.

¹I’ve known people self-deprecatingly, or perhaps publishing-industry-deprecatingly, refer to themselves as “committing trilogy”.
