Ah, worlds...
I've created so many worlds...Celestia, the water and land in-habited war land, Fèlice, the land thought full of peace and prosperity while a shadow and a warrior emeger from the Mandarin Forest, and Maenora, the vast world ruled by a cruel king named Hae, spreading the religion of the Devil, outlawing and kidnapping all Paladins and white magic, creating much imprisinmont, brutality, and captives. (These are my most important worlds)
I find that too much detail can be boring, too little can leave you clueless, and it is important to just get in the right amount. I know Tolkien is the best fantasy writer in many opinions, but I find one element in his books (the tremendous detail) kind of bored teh readers, though many don't admit it.
I don't make five pages of detail, unlike Tolkien, for I find every detail can get boring, and most people skip through those long pages. I try to get detail in only when it is needed, mostly appearences of characters, weapons, and writings. Thedescriptions of places are usually in speech, in thought, and sometimes I will set aside one paragrahp for the description of the room, building, or town.
