yeah I do the same for my D&D maps actually.

xuvrette 05-18-2016 02:51 AM

:/ I dont know whether I am glad that I am a perfectionit OCD or not... Cause I meticulously spent hours on trying to figure out workable stair space & height, accessibility, dimensions, and on and on for my witch tower here. :/

Bearzy 05-18-2016 02:57 AM

That is a lot of detail!

xuvrette 05-18-2016 05:20 AM

Well, the worse point is, those detail will not be even shown specifically in finish product! Lol.
Example, I notice a lot of people insert staircase without considering the steps width, height of each step to achieve the floor height.
Now, I am thinking about how to access my tower roof with proper consideration of rain.
Go figure why Xuxu want to make life difficult.

Bearzy 05-18-2016 05:33 AM

Do you study architecture xuxu? You sound like an architect or an engineer

xuvrette 05-18-2016 07:16 AM

I am working as Project Architect. O____O
Is it what they called Occupational Desease?!

Bearzy 05-19-2016 03:11 AM

No, I just don't know if anyone but an architect could actually suss out how to account for the rain [lol] that was a lucky guess.

xuvrette 05-19-2016 05:05 AM

Ironically, I am still a noob. I am not yet experienced enough to calculate those technical things. Right now, I just estimated and throw it to the specialist for them to check. Lol

Bearzy 05-19-2016 11:26 AM

Still, you would know more about it than me, or another layperson.

xuvrette 05-19-2016 11:33 AM

I have a dilemma... I want to have double volume, but I have a rather small round plan for tower, if the staircase is encircling around externally, then it will break my double volume inside... *GONK*
You will be reading a lot of my rant these few days, until either my motivation is out or the problem solved. :/
This is my second time picking it up to design again.

Bearzy 05-19-2016 11:25 PM

I have no idea how to solve that problem I'm sorry.

xuvrette 05-20-2016 03:30 AM

It is a problem destined to be solved by me... Well, eventually.
You or anyone need any map done? I need some supplement to trigger inspiration.

Bearzy 05-20-2016 02:02 PM

I have /some/ training in technical drawing so I do my own maps [yes]
Also, wow that sentence was hard to type while drunk. Wooooo.

xuvrette 05-20-2016 05:07 PM

I am in the verge a breakthrough! Can I solve it? Can I solve it? *self engross*

Are you drunk now?

Bearzy 05-21-2016 12:12 AM

I was when I posted that message. I'm not anymore.

Shadami 05-21-2016 12:30 AM

It's friday. i'm going to drink tonight. ALSO
I did the math, and about the size book I want to make would be around 143,635 words.

Bearzy 05-21-2016 12:53 AM

That's a good hefty size!

Shadami 05-21-2016 01:05 AM

if my math is about accurate. its how big tamora pierce "Terrier" is. :3

Bearzy 05-21-2016 02:32 AM

Oooh, good choice of comparison. I know that one well.

xuvrette 05-21-2016 04:55 AM

Not into Tamora, but heard about her name a lot.
Hey... I wonder how you do the maths and come down to such specific 143635?!

Shadami 05-21-2016 07:59 PM

I counted out how many words were on one page and than multiplied it by the page number. xD

Bearzy 05-21-2016 11:18 PM

Seems like as good a system as any

xuvrette 05-22-2016 03:25 AM

Oh, have Shadamimi completed the story?
Because I thought whichever work you were counting is unfinish, and figure it is an estimated number.
If estimated, I though people would always round it up?

Shadami 05-24-2016 12:04 AM

no I was doing the math in a published book to see roughly how many words i should aim for as my end goal :D

xuvrette 05-24-2016 04:49 AM

Oh.. So you are basing on word count as goal?
For me, I dont let word count to restrict my story. If it needs 367 words, it will be 367; if it needs 47,700 words, it will be 47,700.
I... I just want to finish my story... *sobs dramatically *
