Once tamed and trained, your budgie will need at least an hour per day outside of its cage for exercise and play. Make sure all windows and doors are closed for safety. It's also a good idea to cover windows and mirrors so your budgie does not accidentally fly into them. Once your budgie is comfortable being moved around outside of your cage, you can try to set it gently on your shoulder. Many budgies can be trained to perch there. Budgies will enjoy having a number of toys to choose from. You can use these toys as an opportunity to bond with your budgie. Try rotating toys regularly (at least every month) to keep it happy. Good budgie-appropriate toys should be available at pet supply stores and include: Ladders Swings Mirrors Bells Wooden chew toys (these are good for keeping your budgie's beak trimmed) Non-poisonous house plants. Your budgie can fly from its cage to the plant and back. You want your budgie to be used to the sound of your voice, so continue to talk to it as it bonds with you. Many budgies can be taught to mimic words and noises.

One-sentence summary -- Let your budgie spend time outside of its cage. Let your budgie sit on your shoulder. Keep your budgie healthy and happy with toys. Continue to talk to your bird.

Q: Some genres, such as fantasy, science fiction, and mystery, are more amenable to a series than others, like romance or commercial fiction. Decide whether your concept fits into the former or the latter. Children's and young adult fiction are other genres that are suitable for series building. Some publishers prefer fantasy series over individual fantasy novels, because fantasy series tend to sell better than standalone fantasy books. You will have to decide whether you are interested in writing one large story broken into several books, such as the Harry Potter series or a group of stand-alone books featuring the same characters, such as Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot mysteries. Making this decision will help you figure out whether you will plot each book separately, or whether you will try to have an overarching storyline between the books. Did you just finish a novel and don't want to say goodbye your main characters? Or, have you developed a fantastic plot that is so wide-ranging it needs to be told over several installments? The former motivation could lead to a long-running series, like a group of mystery novels, while the latter could lead to a trilogy. You will also need to figure out whether you will have an ensemble cast that appears throughout the series, or whether you will primarily have a main character who meets new characters in each book. To help you plan out the series, create a writing timeline with deadlines and due dates. Determine how much time per week or per day you are going to devote to writing the book series. Have deadlines for completed chapters or for a certain page count so you are encouraged to complete the book series. For example, you may have a goal page count per week that you have to hit. Or you may have a certain number of chapters you have to complete every month so you can get the book series done. You will need to be prepared to write and publish frequently as a series writer. Your audience will want to know what happens next to your characters. You also don't want your readers to move on to other books or series if they get tired of waiting for your next installment.
A: Choose a genre for the series. Consider the type of series you will write. Make a writing timeline.

Article: Remember that designing your own tag and actually tagging a physical space are two different things. Don't rush out and try doing both at once. Before you pick up a spray can, sit down with some paper and a pen, pencil, or marker. Sketch your ideas and gradually perfect them before committing them to a (near) permanent canvas. If you're anxious to dive right into actual tagging, decide which letters you need to focus on instead of practicing the whole alphabet. Before you settle on one, check online to see if anyone else already goes by that tag. If so, come up with another. However, if you feel more patient, hold off on a name for right now. Keep in mind that: Your tag needs to be visually appealing, so a name that sounds cool might be less impressive visually than one that sounds blah but looks pretty awesome. You're free to change your name at any time, both before and after you start tagging. If you plan on doing any illegal artwork, make sure that your alias can't be traced back to you in any way. Understand that tagging incorporates your whole body's movement as you paint, with the end result ideally conveying a sense of that movement and energy to the viewer. However, realize that you need to take baby-steps to do that with any level of mastery. For now, practice drawing simple forms of typography freehanded, like Arial or Sans-Serif. As you do, pay particular attention to: Angles Spacing Symmetry Thickness As you grow more confident in drawing simple fonts freehanded, experiment by altering them slightly. Aim to suggest movement with each line to a letter. Play with angles, spacing, symmetry, and thickness to transform a whole letter into a more dynamic shape. For example, with the letter "P," you could: Tilt the angle of the whole letter so that its top is pointing slightly to the right, and its bottom to the left, or vice versa. Curve its vertical line so it resembles the letter "J" for a more languid, swooping effect. Reduce the size of the loop at its top to suggest a sharper, tighter, swifter line. Feel free to simply copy what others have already done when you start tinkering. Virtually all artists (whether they're graffiti artists or another kind) start out by doing this, so don't feel bad about it. If anything, feel confident, because this way you'll be more conscious about what aspects you end up borrowing and which you can credit as your own original ideas. However: Don't be content with just copying. Blatant mimicry in finished tags (or "biting," as it's called in graffiti circles) is frowned upon. This is another reason why it's important to start out with a sketchbook. This way you can learn by others' examples without being accused of trying to pass off borrowed styles as your own. As you grow more satisfied with each letter on its own, start grouping them together to see how they look as a whole. You don't have to literally paint the whole tag in one unbroken move, but aim to suggest a fluid, graceful motion from one letter to the next. Continue tinkering with each letter as needed with an eye toward how it gels with the rest until you're satisfied with the full effect. For example: If you're using the letters "U" and "V," you may be pleased at first with how they each look individually. However, you may then realize that they're too similar and confusing when paired together. In this case, you'll have to alter one or both to make them more distinct so your tag is easily legible.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Start with paper and pen. Choose an alias now, or wait until later. Start with "static" fonts. Start tinkering with each letter to suggest movement. Copy others' styles at first. Practice your full tag.
