how much should we worldbuild before writing?

If four years of worldbuilding taught me anything, it’s that you don’t finish building before you start writing. ABOUT: I am about to finish my debut novel, an epic war set on a world at dawn, following the end of long, long night. There is still much more worldbuilding to do and a lot to learn, but I hope you'll come learn with me. Thanks for watching!
