Journeys are linear, chronological things. They have a beginning, a middle and an end.
Books are exactly the same. It’s a perfect fit. Start at the start. Keep going till you get to the end.
And this is one of the reasons why so many travel books are very boring.
So I wanted to try to find a way to tell this story differently. I decided to write the entire book as though it was one day, one cycle. But I really wanted to find a non-linear way to tell the tale. And I found it.
I am so excited about the Foldedsheet “mappazine” version of my book.
