\nWriters create worlds. It might be a small t own. A bustling city. A raft\, as in Huck Finn. Science fiction and fantas y are the realm of new universes\, worlds born out of the writer&rsquo\;s imagination. Harry Potter lives in a world in which people fly. Gollum and Bilbo reside in Middle Earth. In \;Hitchhiker&rsquo\;s Guide to the G alaxy\, mattresses are dull-witted\, animate objects. In \;One Hundred Years of Solitude\, it rains rose petals. What kind of world would you cr eate? What effect does the place you create have on the characters and the plot? Learn to create worlds that\, though imaginary\, affect the plot an d characters. All writing levels welcome.
