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

:/ 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. :/

That is a lot of detail!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Are you drunk now?

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

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.

That's a good hefty size!

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

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

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?!

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

Seems like as good a system as any

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?

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

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 *
