One thing I find a skilled author can accomplish that goes hand in hand with world-building, is, in their description of their own world, allowing enough detail yet interpretation where each reader can conjure an image of that world in their mind unique to them even if certain elements are shared by other readers. In other words, they craft a unique experience for each reader who delves into their book.
[ND] That will be a challenge for us, especially as novices, trying to figure out what the right amount of detail is to provide. I don't think we'll be aiming for Tolkien-esque lengths of description, but we do want the important elements to be grasped by all readers. And figuring out what the important elements are is another challenge that even precedes figuring out how to describe them.
