#  This is essentially what I am testing 
1.  The user is prompted for a new string template (the one with the double underscores in it).

  a. The prompter class has a new method that prompts for the story template, and that method is called.

2.  The user is then prompted for each word that has been double underscored.

   a. The answer is checked to see if it is contained in the censored words.
      User is continually prompted until they enter a valid word

3.  The user is presented with the completed story

According to the instructions, instead of blanking out censored words after the user input everything you're supposed to reject the word immediately and re-prompt for a clean word. IIRC the only methods you need to alter in the file are promptForWord() and promptForStory(). The rest will remain unchanged.
