You Worldbuild Too Much.
Enough is enough.
There may simply be a point in your world's creation where you've explained and described everything that needs to be explained and described for now. If you feel aimless and unmotivated to work on your world, this may be the case. Don't worry about this - take a break from worldbuilding, work on something else. Write your story/campaign/game/etc. Don't force yourself to continue worldbuilding past this point! If more needed worldbuilding pops up, you will know. You won't find out if you don't actually use your world - in the worst case, you will end up spending time and effort on articles that are literally irrelevant because you don't know what to actually focus on.The opposite end of the spectrum
Of course, there is also such a thing as worldbuilding too little. I don't want you to stop entirely after reading this article. I just want you to put consideration into your worldbuilding and focus on the important topics. Maybe your world is still very new, and you still have to figure out most things. In that case, please worldbuild away - but like I said, focus. Imagine you'd have to explain your world to a stranger. Focus on the things that would be necessary for an outsider to know to understand your world."But Arty, you are also guilty of this!"
I know, I know. I am a big procrastinator myself. Some of the articles in my world are about topics that are literally not relevant to anything I've ever created for it. But! There's another reason I do occasionally write articles that are not relevant to my stories - yet! Because I plan for the future, and I use these articles as an idea pool for topics that I could feature in my stories sometime soon.Remove these ads. Join the Worldbuilders Guild
First of all: rude. Secondly, some very sound advice here. I have to keep reminding myself that the point of all this, for me personally, is to create stories, not to get lost and develop every language and every culture and every competing origin story and every currency exchange rate and and and... Unfortunately, we're not blessed with infinite time. Or a small army of researchers and editors to handle the minutia for us.
I fully agree! (On all points ^^)
