Once upon a time, I was really diligent about my worldbuilding. I painstakingly wrote everything out. I catalogued every character’s height, weight, age, looks, religion, interest, blah, blah, blah. I had whole file folders full of crap. But all that happened was that instead of writing, I’d spend years creating character cards and fake botany notebooks. I suppose that was great for Tolkien, but I’ve always wanted to write more than a couple books, and create more than one world.http://www.rantingdragon.com/interview-with-gods-war-author-kameron-hurley/
She goes on to say that she now writes a setting-light first draft and layers the worldbuilding in during revision.
