Personally, I would say that I enjoy;
-the fact that it has led to me learning new things, and also it has rekindled an interest in learning in general. Sometimes for a scene I'll have to research into specific areas to make sure that small details are correct. Which has helped me to discover things that I never would have considered otherwise. Creating a fictional universe with its own rules has improved my own understanding of the real world, because in order to break rules properly you must first understand why they are there and how they work. I'll admit that I see the irony in placing a rule on the concept of breaking rules.
- writing banter. There's just something so entertaining about sticking a bunch of characters in a setting together to have them make playful jokes with one another. In a similar vein, writing insults can be fun and often when the characters have just the right amount of similarity and contrast it's almost as if the dialogue writes itself.
- Adding sensory descriptions. However, I'll admit that I do have a tendency to focus on small details in a scene too much and sometimes fail to properly describe the main parts of a setting. Usually I have to go back and edit those in. Oh well, I'm still learning.
How about you?
