I'm writing my first fantasy novel and have about 18 chapters finished. I recently realized that I don't have control of where the book is heading. I took a step back and began fleshing out my characters.
Next step create a map. Problem I am a terrible artist. Can anyone recommend a drawing program, hopefully free. I really don't want to use MS Paint.
Thanks

I know you are past this, but I am posting this up for others who might be reading it.
For your mapping needs, the Role Playing Game Community has created dozens upon dozens of tools. There are a couple of threads on the subject on www.rpg.net in the main gaming forum (though the D&D forum might also have a thread or two). Or just find any table top RPG forum and search (or post and ask, you will get more live answers).
