I don't really obsess over details, but I do sometimes tend to feel like I have to make my world as detailed as Tolkien's, and it kind of throws me off track when I realize that I don't know enough to make it like his. So I wonder, should I research for years and world-build exclusively, just writing backstory until I'm in my fifties or whatever, or should I just do the best I can and write? I think the latter is the right answer :D Although I do try to put in as much attention to detail as possible.<br />Thanks for reminding us that our job isn't to be the next Tolkien (or Lewis!), but to glorify God. I totally agree!Laura Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043576932031107768noreply@blogger.com
