The thing you mentioned about maybe being a better cartographer gave me an idea that maye you can run with. You also said that people say this country you believe in doesn't exist. It sounds to me like you have a rich universe (no matter if it's real or not) you could share with others. Maybe combine your writing with your cartography and illustrate this world you see to share with others. Anyway, it was just an idea I had for your creativity.

people can often be cruel in their criticisms, especially of art. I know it's hard to do, especially when it seems everyone's working against you, but you should try shoving those nasty comments about your talents aside. People can be especially cruel over the Internet since there is a certain level of anonymity. They can spew vitriol without ever fearing any kind of backlash. So all those harsh words should be taken with a grain of salt. Someone will eventually appreciate your talents. You just should try some patience, and someone will come along eventually.
I haven't updated my DA page in ages. All the paint images you see are "troll images" I'm actually creating a Township Atlas of my country. I posted about that in the general chat section.
