"I don't think that being a strong person is about ignoring your emotions and fighting your feelings. Putting on a brave face doesn't mean you're a brave person. That's why everybody in my life knows everything that I'm going through. I can't hide anything from them. People need to realise that being open isn't the same as being weak."

- Taylor Swift

Writing

When you write,
You feel like God.
How, who, when, why, what,
All children of your creation.
Writers are the only God,
You can see, smell, taste, touch
And so writers are the only Gods in operation.
Because although we cannot create a world in a week,
And beings from dust and bone,
You can see us conceive, create, conjure, contribute,
You can inspect, interpret, investigate,
Every step of the way.

So how can you trust an Almighty God,
Of whom you will never see in your life?
Why rever one you will only meet in death,
When you can rever ones you can see today, tonight?

Some writers can and do create a world in a week.

Depends on how you want to put it.

They may well do basic aspects of world-building, and the more convincing ones.

But, yes, world building takes up time. And space.
