Do you draw out maps / floorplans etc for key set pieces in your writing?
Not as a rule, though I do have a layered Inkscape file which is a floor-by-floor plan of Albury House (the family home of Teddy in Under Leaden Skies).
I'm not great at holding & manipulating images in my head, so I drew it out to make sure I knew which rooms were where & where the staircases all connect etc.
I've drawn sketch-maps for places my SFF alter-ego writes too.
