    Default A friendly introduction!

    Hi everyone! I'm excited to be finally be on here. My name is Ali and I recently started becoming interested in writing a fantasy series. I started getting a large inflow of ideas in my head and I've taken them more seriously as of late. I have begun fleshing out the universe and history of the world that I want to create and write about but I realized I needed a map. That's where one of my friends came in, as I saw him drawing maps after our university lectures. He referred me to this website and I have since been very inspired to create a detailed map. The maps being produced on this website are fantastic and I know I will get some great advice, which is one of the reasons why I joined. Any advice on how to start this whole process, especially for a beginner like me?

    Excited to meet you all!
