| Post subject: | How I Essence Map |
I usually start by thinking about the essence, but sometimes I think of an element, and expand out from that element. As I think of the essence I write down an unsorted list of elements of that essence, then sort them by what part of the essence they are describing. That is the basic structure, and all the other neat things you have heard about in advanced mapping can be added to that as you go along. But for now I will make a new essence map for an example for this post. Sometimes I make an essence map of a thing, but I often do not, so I will not this time. Argyle socks A bale of lumber falling to a warehouse floor The name Eoin Colfer Spout of dust Spent shotgun shell Grinding black pepper Broken crutches Smoke billows from the mouth of a cannon that has not fired A lump of charred wood striking the floor An iron cup filled with fog Loose horseshoe Shaved hedgehog Tumbleweed A split cork Under a withered wood Rolling a stick Cracking nuts Crushing black bread on the face Rubbing a large brush on wet sand There are the unsorted elements, and now I will sort them by how they express the essence. The titles of the categories are like elements themselves. -What to do Spout of dust Shaved hedgehog Crushing black bread on the face A lump of charred wood striking the floor Tumbleweed Rubbing a large brush on wet sand -Take nothing The name Eoin Colfer Spent shotgun shell An iron cup filled with fog Broken crutches Smoke billows from the mouth of a cannon that has not fired Under a withered wood -Room for No A bale of lumber falling to a warehouse floor Argyle socks Grinding black pepper Loose horseshoe A split cork Rolling a stick Cracking nuts There you are. Have delight with this. |

*wonders where the argyle socks came from* So when thinking of these unsorted things, do they all have some connection of essence that makes you think of them, or are they only an essence when they are sorted? |

Well, they all come from the same essence, but they are also sorted by the same essence. By the way, the answer to the What is this an Essence Map of Riddle is here: Tsahraf ChahsidMimetes wrote: Sometimes I make an essence map of a thing, but I often do not, so I will not this time. The first person who pms me with the answer will get a picture or critique of one of their stories! http://www.holyworlds.org/fantasy/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=5659 |
