Is Fido a Blinkie or just Wallpaper?

Story takes place somewhere and somewhen, and if those elements are not right the story can’t be right.  Oh, the pressure!

Week Seven of HTRYN guides the writer to analyze his story world, from the macro to the micro, from World right down to Blinkies and Shinbangers.  What are those, are they necessary, and how can they be most effectively used?

Here students report their findings in this part of the triage process.  This is fun.   Lotsa fun.
