Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Re:How to know the world you write about

Try creating a bible for the world you created. AS a creator you will know the characters and the world they live in very well, but others, not so.

By writing out a bible, it makes you think of the things that you may need to include in your scripts that will immerse your readers into your world.

Early on, I never really did this, but I do it now and it helps greatly when structuring a story. Be it time lines, character motivation, or just to know where someone should be at a certain moment, all of which, can be traced back to the bible you create.

Hope that helps.
