I'm about to head out to teach worldbuilding. I'm so glad to be teaching it, for I keep encountering novels with certain basics stuffed up. Societies that cannot possibly operate. Lack of women is still too frequent, but I've seen no means of growing food and no means of earning a living and I've seen sustenance level societies with sophisticated coinage and societies where the technologies make no sense whatsoever.

I need to find a geological map, if I can. If I can't, I'll wing it. The next six weeks are not just any worldbuilding, but worldbuilding using the Middle Ages, and it's kinda important to get rocks right and know if the land sustains life or pottery.

And that's an end to my procrastination for now. I need my wormeaten geological map and can't just sit here, wondering if it's where I left it!
