With how deeply your characters are woven into the worlds you build for their stories, I was just about to ask how the Map developed for MatT! Did the actual drawing precede the narrative like your worldbuilding tends to, or did it come after/grow in parallel with with the road trip?

Books with maps 💜💜💜 it's one of my favorite parts of my physical copy to easily flip back and forth to track the characters' journey.

The two-year anniversary of The Map and the Territory is coming up on 12 December--in honor of that very important birthday, let's do an AMA! (Ask Me Anything) Taking questions from people who've read it and people who haven't yet~

The cover of the book The Map and the Territory, which depicts two people standing back to back. One of them is a tall Black man in elaborate wizardly robes, and the other is a short woman with brown skin who wears practical clothes for adventuring.

Did you have a favorite city/location to write about? You paint such a vibrant picture of each changing setting, I'd find it hard to choose just one!

In these times of uncertainty it's okay to grieve the future you hoped for. The future you fought so valiantly for. Mourn it, but do not abandon the Work left to do in its loss.

The best defense is often a good offense. Don't pull your punches when enforcing your boundaries.

A giant figure of Fray in the snow, laying against the side of a cliff. Eyes closed and peaceful with their hands clasped over their stomach with a letter and a flower. At the top of the cliff stands the small ambiguous figure of the Warrior of Light against a striking orange and yellow sunset. The words "Dearly Beloved" is written in white script against the sky.

The danger is real. The fear is real. The ruinous pull of despair is real. But warm sun on an autumn afternoon is also real. Hearty soup is real. Purring cats are real. The laughter of your friends is real. When times feel at their darkest, remember the reality you're fighting for. Hope is real.🗡️

We'll get through this the same way we've always gotten through trying times. Stick together, choose hope, and fight like hell. 🗡️💜

For whatever good it'll do my loyal red rep in my entrenched red state, at least I called. Thank you for sharing, not only the script and explanation, but the warning and the chance to do the work. 🗡️

Despair is uncomplicated. The answer to every question narrows and sharpens to a simple "what's the point?" Hope, however, is messy. If we're going to believe that things could ever get better, that means we've still got work to do. Dust yourself off, crack your knuckles, and let's get to it.

All three of those sound like perfect stories to tell right now, and I'm glad you're feeling led to tell them. Even your descriptions alone are giving me much-needed hope, and I'm so excited to read them whenever you're ready to share💜

Heroism isn't limited to the knight driving a sword through the heart of the wicked dragon. It also shines in the smith who forged the weapon, the healer who tended their wounds, the innkeep who gave them a bowl of stew. We need more than just dragonslayers. Look for where you can help.

When the only certainty is the difficulty of the path ahead, it's all too easy to be frozen in despair. But walk it we must. Even if you only take one step today - clean your desk, or eat a meal, or do some stretches - take one single step. Tomorrow, another. Together, we'll hit our stride.

Remember that anger is a good spark but not a sustainable source of fuel. Don't neglect the things and people you love. Stay compassionate, reach out to others, and rest when you can. Do this for your morale. Hold onto what you cherish, because they give all of this meaning.

The work is still the work, even if the work is harder now. We resist state-sanctioned injustice, we support our neighbors, we make beautiful things that inspire or comfort or trouble. The work will always be the work.

Right. Here's your to-do list for the next two months to put you in the best possible position to survive what's coming: 1. Renew your passport (or apply for a passport) this week even if it is not expiring in the next four years. Renewing early will give you the maximum 10-year validity period.

It's okay to not be okay right now. It's okay to be scared, or angry, or numb. Don't run from these emotions. Embrace them. You feel so strongly because you care so much. Let that love keep you fighting, for yourself and those you hold dear. I'm still trying. 💜
