A map to life - first draft...
Life-Treasure Map, Map of the heart... it's all a becoming a map to my heart.
Don’t you love it when you get into something new that ends up being a rich and deep journey?
This is how I feel about maps. As I prepare my finished book for agent submissions I am thinking about the next and this desire to write a book that is kind of a map to life has come up.
I begin to think about the different types of maps there are.
There is a map of a location area, like a city’s street maps, lay of the land maps that show you around various locations within an area.
There are maps, like treasure maps that are about getting from point A to point B.
And then, I love these kinds of maps that take the idea of a map away from the straightforward geographical style. I want to explore more of these out-of-the-box map types.
Having found these above images on We Heart It, all original ownership is lost in a sea of reposting, but here is the link to my collection of maps you can look into yourself for ownership or to check out more map types.
In trying to think of a map to life I started playing with the large concepts and ideas and how they might look like in a map. This is what came out in a first draft.
If you have come across any other map types or unusual ways for mapping non map things please do send them my way.
And, if you were to read a book that explained life, what big questions or wonderings would you like it to explain?
Love the idea, and your first draft of mapping things usually not mapped.
