Anyway, in my head, the building fits together a lot better than it does in this crazy picture (which, by the way, I made in Excel). But at least this way I can keep my turns straight when characters are going places.
Here's today's Novel Excerpt.

"Jenna yanked at the handle. It opened to reveal an odd sort of room. It was cavernous with ceilings easily 15 feet high and walls made entirely out of stone. In the front of the room was a blackboard on an easel-type stand, a large, dark colored desk and several stumpy bookcases. Just behind that sat 3 rows of 4 desks. But they weren’t like the student desks Abbey had used at her old school. They were actual desks with leather chairs on casters and drawers for books and papers. Each desk had a small wooden box on top that contained 4 thin drawers about 9 inches across. There was a keyhole on each drawer.
Behind the desks, the room seemed to stretch on endlessly so that the desks and chalk easel seemed strangely dwarfed. Bookshelves made of rich, dark wood lined the walls of the classroom. They were filled with books, all of them tall and bound in faded cloth or leather. In the very back of the room, which was only dimly lit with floor lamps, there sat an enormous table, a dozen or so high-backed leather chairs, several armchairs in deep crimson and studded with brass buttons and a single powerful-looking computer.
“English,” Jenna said."
