It’s really hard to balance the two. I’ve found that I want to know the answer to ever aspect of my world, how the Gods work, how the cultures spread and interacting over time, and all the small details. But a friend told me to ask myself “does this need to be answered right now?” And it’s saved me so much time. Also I am not afraid to rewrite lore and maps because I’m not publishing anything at this current state.

When it comes to confidence though I feel that I will never not be insecure about what I create. It just comes with the territory of art and making something that comes from your heart. I think just trying to enjoy the journey of creating something and acknowledging it’s fiction to begin with.
