Q: If you struggle to edit your writing on your own, you may try showing it to a friend or a colleague to get their feedback. Choose a friend who will be critical of your writing but also offer constructive feedback and useful notes. You may also show the story to a colleague at school or at work who is interested in writing and reading. You may try reading the short story out loud to a friend or colleague in addition to giving them a hard copy. You may get more detailed feedback if you read the short story out loud to them, as they can tell you right away when a section does not sound right or as strong as it could be. Remember not to take any criticism you receive of your short story personally. You are getting your writing critiqued after all, and any feedback does not reflect on you as a person. Instead, try to view feedback as valuable and part of the revising process. You may also try bringing the story to a writing group in your local area or online. Submit the story to the writing group for critique. Then, sit back and listen to what the writers in the group have to say about the story. Take notes and try not to interrupt anyone when they are discussing your story. Listen and process the feedback you get from the group. You may also try taking a writing class where you can workshop your writing with other writers. You may find it useful to discuss the craft of writing and several different approaches to writing in the class, in addition to getting your short story edited by other writers. If you are still struggling to revise your short story, you may consider hiring a professional editor to help you tackle the issues in your story. You can hire a professional editor by searching for one online or by asking peers in your writing community for a reference to a good one. You may end up working with a professional editor if you submit the short story to a call for submissions at a literary magazine or a journal. The editor can help you adjust minor issues in the story so it is set for publication.
A: Show the story to a friend or colleague. Bring the story to a writing group. Hire a professional editor.

Q: Nero is notoriously inefficient at burning dual-layer video DVDs, because it does not handle the layer break well. This is the spot in the disc where the reader moves from the first layer to the second layer. You will need a program more capable of handling this correctly, such as ImgBurn. In order to burn a dual-layer video DVD, you will need your video file on your computer formatted into the VIDEO_TS folder format. This occurs when you rip a DVD, or copy an unprotected DVD from the disc to your hard drive. Click the Mode menu, and then select Build. Click the small "Browse for a Folder" button to open the file browser. Navigate to your VIDEO_TS folder and click OK. This will ensure that the video will fit onto the disc when you burn it. This will open the layer break selector. ImgBurn will rate all of the available options. Choose the option with the highest rating to ensure the smoothest possible transition between layers. The burn process will begin. Dual-layer DVDs can take a long time to burn, so you may have to wait awhile. Once the process is complete, watch the video in a DVD player to test it out.
A: Download a different burning program. Open ImgBurn. Click the calculator button. Click the Build button.

Q: Certain kinds of spruce trees are common to certain locations. Note where the tree is located and research the kinds of spruce trees native to the area. Find an illustrated guide of trees in your region to help you identify the species of spruce. The Colorado Spruce is common throughout the Pacific Northwest and the Midwest. The Red Spruce, The Black Spruce and The Blue Spruce are all common varieties that typically grow in the Northeast. The White Spruce and the Norway Spruce are prevalent both in the Northeast and the Northwest. There are also several varieties of spruce that are native to countries in East Asia, Turkey and areas of Western Europe. Different spruce species flourish in different conditions. Some spruce trees tend to grow only near water sources or places with rich soil, while others do well even in harsh climates. Take into account the area in which the spruce is growing. The Colorado spruce grows best in environments that have rich, gravely soil like the areas around rivers or streams. The Black Spruce typically grows in bogs and swamps, which is why it is also referred to as the Bog Spruce. The Red Spruce is often found in cool forests alongside other conifers. The White Spruce tends to grow in moist acidic soil around rivers or streams and often grows around other coniferous hardwood trees. The Norway Spruce can grow in a variety of cooler climates, but flourishes in moist and acidic soils. If you are trying to identify a Christmas tree, you may not know where the tree came from. If you are trying to identify what kind of spruce your Christmas tree is, ask the nursery you purchased it from. If you didn't purchase it from a store or nursery, you will have to look closely at the tree to identify it. The most common spruces used as Christmas trees are the Colorado Spruce and the White Spruce.
A:
Use the region to narrow down the species. Consider the immediate area. Ask the nursery to identify a Christmas spruce.
