I'm curious about how people manage to make layouts and things for where their characters live. Like if you're writing a scene in the character's house how do you keep track of where they are in the house in relation to the other rooms and such. I suppose the question stands for space ships and boats too. Do you just make it up and hope to find that you've not confused anything when you edit, or do you actually design the houses and ships and things? If it's the latter, do you do it on paper, or using some kind of computer program or website?
I'm trying to design my main character's house in my urban fantastyish story and I'm having trouble because I've never been in a house that's more than 3 bedrooms. I don't think I've ever been in a house that had more than 10 rooms including bathrooms. I've only ever been in one 2 story house. It's rather difficult to design something I know nothing about. I was just curious what other people do and if anyone has any advice or suggestions they might be willing to give.
