That's so strange, we're basically total opposites.

I have map ideas come into my head in spurts, like I can hear parts of a song and picture action happening to it in places or see a nature documentary and the environment it's in and things just sort of...well they just appear in my head. Then in my mind's eye I can push rooms around like pieces of clay and make them and paint them the shape I want.
When I release my map I'm wanting to pack with it all the documentation I had on designing it so others might see how I went about making it. I used to sketch in a book but now own a Wacom tablet and sketch with that on the computer, so you can see and old draft of a section, then it comes clearer and clearer. Attached is the same section, becoming more detailed after repeated drafts.

But I couldn't code or write music if you put a gun to my head. I could sort of hack it in school and luckily my best made was the number 1 coder in my school. Stuff that hurt my head for hours he had solutions for just over the phone. My other problem is I'm achingly slow. I'm just now seriously working on a map I've had drawn on paper for nearly a decade.

Some people work at crazy speed, the fastest work I've seen is from Mark who seems to crank out shit (when he wanted to) at breakneck speed.
