Exciting!

I have made maps all my life, but only sketches, really. I have made a few digitally in MS Paint, but find myself needing to make more maps because of my writing. I need to know where the characters are, how long it will take them to get to somewhere else, etc. I even make "maps" of their homes and other buildings so I can think about how far their voices would carry and how far it will take to go from room to room or outside and what have you. I am REALLY new here, although I joined three days ago--I haven't really looked around at all, except in this forum to read some of the other welcoming responses to new members, which is cool, so I can start with the different links suggested right away.

I am also making a hand writing font on a font site so that I can use it for my maps and not worry about any restrictions on using someone else's letters, as I want the map to look handmade.

I really am excited to get started and to see what others are doing.
