Untreated adhd so be patient. I'm so fascinated by the world I'm creating (which I think is a good thing) and I'm not Tolkien making a new language or anything (yet) but the world building is SO FUN. I have written drafts for the first 3 chapters but I keep returning to building the world details because I don't want to write something that will conflict with a culture or world idea that I finalize later. I've never written more than short stories so this is my first time creating a novel length world.

How do you all deal with this? Do you just give in and build the world 75% of the way before really writing much? Or do you just write and edit as you build the world? I do have a basic plot outline that I think is fantastic.
