So I'm writing this book, for fun really, but I need some help making a map for it D: so I'll post it here and if anyone would like to liven it up and/or completely redo it, it would be appreciated thanks



Very plain  

Whats the book about?  

Here's the very beginning

---

As Aeth dodged through the melee of warring naval factions, the only thought in her mind was
"I'm not supposed to be here"
An arrow grazed her sleeve.
I'm getting a little too close the the action, she thought worriedly.
Aeth snatched up a bloody knife from the saturated deck and continued to make her way towards the mainsail. She planned on climbing up to the crows nest, and awaiting the end of the battle in relative safety. A flying dagger pinned itself into the wall of the cabin behind her. Aeth caught her breath sharply and faltered, but soon, realizing the urgency of her situation, tugged the knife out of the splintered wood and continued crawling. At last she reached the mast, and, with the knife's handle gripped tightly between her teeth, she began the long and treacherous ascent to the crows nest. Every inch threatened to hurl Aeth off into the roiling sea. She felt helpless and exposed so high in the air. About halfway to the top, Aeth heard a commotion from below, not unsimiliar to a murder of crows squabbling over an insect. She chanced a peek down, but looked up again instantly, reeling from the sheer height. She allowed herself a few moments to recover, then glanced downward once again. The men on deck had ceased their projectile exchange, and were wildly gesticulating up towards her.

It's set in a somewhat medieval time, I think I'm going to add some fantasy in there though.

Nice I'm writing a Book about a Post-Apocalyptic era. It is when a corrupt government takes over. This guy, Ray, find out he has insane speed, and meets others with powers too.

Haha thanks. I love starting stories but I usually lose interest about halfway through D: I'm gonna finish this one though.  

Nice writing!

I'll buy a copy.  

Lol  

AYYAYAYAYYA  

Oh yeah, I changed it to first person, so just take this excerpt and swap all of the "Aeth, her, and she" for "I, me, and my"  

U can use a omniscient view

Nah, I like first person better, and it's too much work to go back and change it
