    That was some great advice Tilt. Those three tips really made sense and I was able to put the rivers where they should go instead of just randomly branching off.

    In the first one I was painting the rivers going from the ocean into the land and painting the branching rivers going from the river into the land. Once i read your 2nd tip, i erased most of my rivers and repainted them. I made the main part of the river go from the land into the ocean and then painted the branches coming from the high ground into the main river. It worked so much better and i know it will pay off later on. I have a good idea where i want my mountain ranges so that is where most of the rivers are draining from.

    Here is the finished alpha map. Ill be moving on to the next step now and Ill post it soon.
