David Eddings goes into quite a lot of detail as to how he creates worlds
(for his series the Belgariad and the Tamuli) in his book "The Rivan Codex".
Worth a look if that's what you're doing.
Matt, I second a lot of the advice given here. You have plot, you have
characters - you've got the creative part sussed! What you need is the
technique, the craft of writing, and that takes learning and practice. So go
to it! I highly recommend a dictionary for those $5 words: if you don't use
them correctly, you lose both the people who don't understand them AND the
people who do, leaving you with a rather small audience :-(
