We've got a lot in common XD I joined here a while back, been lurking and learning from other peoples maps and method and working on maps for my own world which is used in a series of Novels I'll be writing (and hopefully someday publishing but that's more up to the publisher XD) along with a dice and paper tabletop rpg that i'm making as well based in the same world, I'm doing a continent map at the moment for the continent the first story is mostly set in, getting practice and all of that. I'll do a map of every continent and a world map, and I then intend to do city/town maps as well, it will be a lot of work but worth it, then I may even go so far as to do some building maps, perhaps just a few generic variations for things like inns/taverns and houses and stuff to use for the game, it's all going to take a long time but i don't mind that, i've always loved maps and I'm enjoying being able to finally make some of my own since i've never thought i had the skill to do so before. It's been a very awesome learning experience that has actually helped me to expand my world as well, because I actually only had 4 continents to begin with in a world that was meant to be earth sized XD i have since then added a few to the list and i'll make them all eventually, but it's really nice to be able to add to my creations and give them more depth ^_^

i'll stop ranting now lmao, this is my first forum post actually, so I'll go ahead and introduce myself, I'm Miranda and I live in Colorado in the US, though I'm currently visiting my fiance in Newcastle England where I'll be hopefully moving sometime next year after we get married ^_^ I just turned 20 in february and I've finally started to get really serious about my world and everything over the past year or so, when I got the big desire to map my world better and wound up finding this wonderful site in my efforts to learn more about map-making lol
