    Default Total newbie checking in!

    Hi everyone!

    I write stories. Some of them are set in other worlds. I have always been fascinated with maps--as a kid I loved to pour over atlases. But you see, I have this problem where I am terrible at art & geography & whatnot. I've been lurking this forum for awhile and learning from all you talented folk. I think I'm ready to start building some maps of my own. *waves* I hope I won't annoy you all too much!

    Welcome to the Guild

    Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.

    I firmly believe that no one should ever pour anything over an atlas! Welcome to the Guild!
