- 2.Rewrite this info-dump as part of a character's action or thought: "Medieval markets were important centers of trade and social life."
- 3.Why does folding a historical fact into action usually work better in fiction than stating it directly?
- 4.Write one paragraph of original historical fiction weaving in at least two specific period details through action.
