I have started writing a fiction novel!

Hi all! After spending many months attending endless galaxies of creative writing workshops (and taking the time to write about them in previous blog posts), I have decided that it is time to step up a notch and try writing a fiction novel. So, last Wednesday, I was out for a wonder along the Hillingdon canals in deepest west London, tracing a journey in a story that combines autism, defying family, world travel to Singapore and mental recovery, all into one complete package. 

The Grand Union in Uxbridge

There is also some hint of misdirection being thrown in the wind along this part of the adventure, as seen at the entrance to the Slough Arm near West Drayton:

Once I got to West Drayton, I took a bus out to the massive structure that is Heathrow Terminal 5, where I spent some time tracing the departure from the UK, before moving on to the famous Myrtle Avenue planespotting area - there, I was able to get a glimpse of the very flight that I was writing about in the story; the British Airways A380 jet that was taking off on its 13 hour voyage to Singapore.

That being said, the novel is still in its fairly early heydays (7,000 words), but I am starting to become more convinced that this is the one story that I am certainly very passionate to be writing about. 

I am looking forward to sharing some brief updates once I get further down the line in terms of its story development, and I hope that you will come along with me on this epic journey around the world.

Signing off with much love,

Jakub

Run-up to the end of 2025 - Secret Maps at the British Library

It's been quite dead on my blog since the last post on the tales of creative writing, and that's because I have been busy in London's big library - so to celebrate the end of the 2025, let's explore the Secret Maps exhibition together and bring the mysteries of mapping alive... The Secret Maps Exhibition So, as is usual in blogposts about events, let's talk about what this exhibition is all about. So, Secret Maps is an exhibition that explores mapping and the theme of secrecy and privacy, ranging from 14th century ideas to the present day, taking place at the British Library from the 24th of October 2025 to the 18th of January 2026.  The map curators at the Library had a very tough task over the previous three years in preparing the exhibition for display; choosing the right themes for the exhibition and having to meticulously pick out 100 of the most relevant items from the Library's extensive map collection (4.3 million maps to be precise), along with contacti...

My opinions on aesthetics in map design... based on academic research

As you may be aware, one of my goals from this project is to provide a calm and relaxing take to fantasy mapping, and so I believe that it is important to explore the theme of aesthetics when designing maps as it plays a big part in this ethos.  Whilst I was conducting some research into the substance of wellness in cartography, I noticed an evolving pattern in map aesthetics over a number of years thanks to the work of some academic researchers. For instance, when I was exploring Alexander Kent's research papers on cartography aesthetics, I noticed a large amount of progress on the subject since the publishing of his first paper in 2005, when at the time, map aesthetics was not a commonly discussed topic and the academic community was beginning to explore the idea, to 2013 when a set of standards for improving map aesthetics was established.  I have also seen an increasing amount of interest recently in integrating social elements when we think about aesthetics in map designs...

Joining the Cartographers' Guild

Over the last few months I found this really interesting website called the Cartographers' Guild , a large community forum where people go to share their fantasy map projects and post interesting tips on how to improve their fantasy map drawing skills. What particularly interested me on this site was a post from one of the community members there on the forum about the "Eriond" fantasy map project that they were working on, which featured a tutorial on how to create photorealistic fantasy maps in the GIMP program. This would prove to be of big use for the Youtubia fantasy map project that I am currently working on.   At an important time where I am currently working on my business idea, I believe that it is important for me to be part of a place where I can share my ideas and be able to build business relationships with other like-minded people in the fantasy world.  Therefore, I have decided to join the Cartographers' Guild forum and I hope to be able to post my fan...
