Hello everyone,

I stumbled on the Guild while trying to figure out how far a horse could travel over different kinds of terrain and was amazed to find that someone else was actually thinking about these things! Then I quickly realized that you all may be just the resource/support group I was looking for. I live in the Washington DC (USA) region where I'm an attorney by day and an exhausted mom/writer at night. (I have a 1 year old and a 2.5 year old. Half my writing gets done on my commute to work)

I'm currently about 300 pages into writing a fantasy novel (which will likely turn into 900-some pages at the rate I'm going) with a desperately insufficient map that I'm trying to fix. So I'm going to be stumbling through your quickstart guides and humbly requesting guidance as apparently my rivers (and possibly everything else) are all askew.

So thanks in advance for enduring my newbie-ness. I look forward to meeting everyone!

Jennifer
