here’s an early early rough rough sketch up of The Cavase, which is one of the major settings for Sea of Reeds.

in a nutshell, this is a terraformed collection of islands that is also the home base of the government of Armon, the world in which the story takes place.

should have the pretty version back from the designer soon.

so along with my hipster PDA, i’ve been a big fan of Moleskine notebooks over the years.

i’ve used all sorts of sizes and styles.

however, the smaller hardbacks like this always seem to capture my imagination.  i’ve got 8 previous ones filled up with notes, stories, rants, poetry, etc over the last 5 or so years.  not too shabby considering they are about 200 pages.

i really got into the Moleskines while teaching 8th grade.  there was something cathartic to writing in them.

i’m back to using them heavily now.  missed them.  don’t know why i ever stopped using them, really… but it’s always great to look back months and years ago and see what was going through my head and heart.
