How To Think Sideways: Career Survival School For Writers

Hey–How’d You Like to Build a World?

by Texanne on March 2, 2010

Don’t you love it when you learn how to fix a problem you didn’t even know you had?  That’s what happened for this HTRYN student:

Okay, I was guilty of the “I don’t need this, my story is set in the here and now” mindset when I first read this lesson material.   BUT, I figured I would do this anyway. Grudgingly.

That’s when I realized that . . . I never truly grounded my reader in my world. I mean, I KNOW why this tale had to be set in this place, but I never got that across, and my story is weaker for it.

Thank, Holly! No doubt I will find more reasons to cry/hope as I wade through this lesson.

This is so cool.
