While perusing my Google Reader feed I randomly noticed a headline and clicked on it to read the accompanying story. The Globe & Mail Q&A article featured Toronto writer Anne Michaels, an author of poetry and fiction, whose book The Winter Vault incorporates an idea that fascinated me. According to the article, a character in the novel, "meticulously assembles dozens of unusual maps. Maps of tree roots and wind corridors. A chocolate map. A remorse map. A map of the dead. A secret hope map."
The more I read of the article, the more fascinated with the idea I became. I think I might go to my local library to find a copy of The Winter Vault to read and learn more about this mapping stories concept. It just might be the jumpstart my brain needs to come up with interesting writing ideas of my own. I'll keep you all posted :)
