The worst advice anyone ever gave for ME PERSONALLY was "hey stone you should worldbuild a bit more" I ended up sinking wayyyyy too much time into worldbuilding and not enough into literally everything else. i'm not a person who enjoys worldbuilding very much, but i thought it'd make my writing better (which it didn't because i kept trying to force it and ended up wasting too much time on the details) I don't have a crusade against worldbuilding (in fact, if you do it for fun, all the more power to you). Worldbuild when it suits you/when it suits your writing. EDIT: To clarify, I'm just saying to spend your time wisely. I put much more time into worldbuilding than I should have, and as a result the rest of my writing suffered.
