Today I have been mapping out the town on paper. Showing were each street begins and ends. Also helps me plan were to place each shop, this way I know that there have all appeared on the town map.
Using a map also allows me to see were each building will be on the town plan.
The map also includes the roads the shops are on and which roads lead in to the town centre. It also helps to plan the narrative as when creating a scene I know what to put in that drawing. Such as which characters, shops and buildings and nature likes trees etc.
