World Building & Writing for you vs writing for the reader

I talk about how it's okay to mess up and 'waste' your time on a world building chapter or a section that you ultimately won't use. Trust me, I do it all the time lol Because that chapter or scene that isn't used is still useful. And that concept ties into the common suggestion that I've seen over the years: "Write for yourself first and the reader second."
