Anything you do is good practice. Character development, plotting, world building, all those are important if you feel the need to flesh out a world before you start writing. Some like to start with an empty canvas, but you're not one of those. Neither am I.

When the time comes, you'll want to share these images in your head, and you'll start to put words on paper. If that time never comes, put away your ideas and try something new. There is no schedule, no right way or wrong way, for writing. Do what you want.

If you're lucky, one day a character or an idea will come to you, and you will start to write in earnest. You'll have no choice. Until then, get as much practice as you can, so you'll be ready.
