Thank you, MMM

Of course you will! It just takes the guts to... ummm.... blatantly ignore the plate tectonics... guess at the climate and hope nobody notices, and... totally start all over again when you can't find the original files because its been a year since you last looked at it

It also helps if you just can't seem to get your teeth into something you're writing, and you just know it would work if only you had the map to make sense of where everyone is/was, and just how many weeks it would take people to get from A to B by various means

There are a lot of things I don't actually like about the land and the mountains. Lots of things are too big, too cartoony, or too blatant etc. You just have to keep working at it till you get something that makes sense.

Just take it one step at a time - get a world of land shapes to work on and take it from there. Fractal Terrains 3 is good for generating worlds if you set it up right, and Wilbur is good for eroding mountain ranges, but there are lots of people who simply draw it how they imagine it, and it all seems to work out fine in the end.

That is exactly what is pushing me to finish the Lakelands right now. I just can't keep writing without a full map.
