| 1637488193783336960 | @ScholarlyFox @JohnJosephAdams @C_L_Clark @apexjason Sometimes, you realize you need to go back and do MORE #worldbuilding to make the plot work, when moving from short fiction to novels. | 1 |

| 1637496428334567429 | @ScholarlyFox @JohnJosephAdams @C_L_Clark @apexjason Prologues work best when they serve as an appetizer for action when the essential main story will take a while to get there. | 4 |

| 1637489431446978562 | @ScholarlyFox @JohnJosephAdams @C_L_Clark @apexjason Story and worldbuilding can be like a tennis match. It's a back and forth process. You get stuck on the story because you need to build out more of the world, but eventually need to get back to the story or the piece stagnates. | 1 |

| 1637487181081223174 | @ScholarlyFox @JohnJosephAdams @C_L_Clark @apexjason In short fiction, one of the more popular criticisms is "this feels like it should be a novel." This can come from an author being too enthusiastic with #worldbuilding. It's the editor's job to tell the author when they've gone too far. | 1 |
