What kind of world building do you practice the most? (self.worldbuilding)

I have always preferred creating maps and geography over other types of writing, I love learning about language rules and I occasionally find myself thinking about conlanging in the most random moments

If I had to categorise it, I would mostly call myself a cartographer in the space of world building

What do you prefer? I know some that love creating unique species, others just fucking around with planets, some just like making art for characters they wrote about

The kind where I build everything in my head, write nothing down, forget it in a day or two never to be seen again while I feel sad about not ever developing them properly

I always have obsidian open to write anything thau comes to mind

Though, I'm actually using this as a way to motivate me to finish my blog

'finish your blog and you can worldbuild again' It works
