Don't cut yourself short. I've found the editors to be quite forgiving of 
mistakes and pretty good at letting you create what you really wanted to. 
Sometimes we are our own worst critics. I've swapped maps in progress with 
people and thought some of their "throw-away" stuff was pretty darn good.
I like to help with the details but designing a map is not my strong point. 
I'll work all day long to get a staircase to look just right but laying out 
a dungeon or fleshing out an outdoor arena shows my weaknesses.

Maybe we could all put together a AGUT map? We could all contribute 
something. Might be fun....
