maybe i'm my own worse critic...

Someone call for my help?

If there is background that needs to be added in, start off the chapter or setting based on what background the reader needs to know there before progressing. Try not to get too cluttered with the background before getting to the actual story.

For example, in one story I'm writing, the group goes to the capital planet in the star system, so the chapter starts off with a brief explanation of the planet and, the government, and the geography. This doesn't fill up more than half the page, and more details are listed when it's deemed necessary for the reader to know right then and there.
