I'm joining a Christmas one-shot at my local game store tomorrow, and I've never played in person with strangers before, so I'm pretty excited.
The character I'm making is basically "What if America personified... but not just a gimmick?"
Neato. I’d love to hear how it goes.
I’ve been trying to get back into writing in the form of short stories. I’m doing one for the Scholastic Arts and Writing Awards on the Barnacle world, so we’ll see how it goes. Only a few paragraphs in and I’m starting to struggle on writing convincing plot points. I need to move the plot forward as quickly as possible because of my word count restrictions, but I also need to hook them with good worldbuilding in the exposition.

Hmmm... first off, feel free to use my contributions to the world as much as you want. Second off, I wish I had some good advice, but I've only ever studied writing and have yet to put it into practice, which makes me sound like an idiot honestly.

Much appreciated, and there’s no need to deprecate your abilities. You’re a fine writer. I’m sure you have much more experience than I do, and I know for a fact your grasp of the language is better than mine. I’m only doing this in an attempt to cultivate a specific writing style I can depend on in the future, for fun.

So, you want my honest advice? Screw the exposition. Literally trash it. Start off with a place the audience will understand from the genre, you know, like a port or something. Let only a little bit of Lubridium flavor shine here. Slowly, slowly pan out to reveal the weirdness and wackiness of your universe.
Infodumping, even if it's "Show, don't tell," is annoying. Maybe it's just a me thing, though. They're not expecting a masterclass in writing either, I'm guessing, and once again I've never written an actual story longer than three or four notebook pages, so take everything I suggest with a huge grain of salt.
If this is unclear, I will reiterate: I may sound confident, but I am not an author. Yet.
