Worldbuilding is, like any other aspect of writing, entirely individual.
Yes. That.
I was pretty much paralyzed by the thought of any sort of worldbuilding, until I realized I could apply the same work-it-out-as-I-go process that seems to work for me for everything else for that, too.
Worldbuilding in particular feels like something one needs to map out in advance, and it was a relief to me to realize that--for me--it didn't have to be.
For others it all works very differently, of course.
