The worst thing for me to do is having to put in some worldbuilding background to help the reader along, and having no choice but to write an infodump.
The difficult part is making it short, meaningful, and not letting it feel like an infodump.
It’s taken me one hour to write less than a hundred words. ARGH.
If someone tries to tell me writing is easy, I will rub their noses in a steaming pile of stinky infodump.
