INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To do this, click or tap on the picture of your avatar at the top-right corner of your screen. A drop-down menu will appear. Click on the name of your Twitter handle (or, on the mobile site, tap on "Profile"). You will now be on your Twitter profile, which contains the history of all of the tweets, replies, and retweets you have made and received. To delete these original retweets, you must retweet it again, which will make the retweet icon green, then you can immediately delete that retweet by clicking the green retweet icon. This will also remove the original retweet you made over 6 months ago along with it. This will "undo", or remove the retweet you made from your profile, so that neither you nor other users will see it on their Twitter feeds. This will not delete the original tweet from the user's timeline.

SUMMARY: Go to your profile. If the retweet was done over 6 months ago, it will show your username and icon in the list of people who have retweeted it, but the retweet arrow circle will be grey, not green. Tap or click on the Retweet icon.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Straws and PVC pipe are two different materials you can use to make pan pipes. Straws are the easiest materials to use to make pan pipes. However, their sound quality is not as good as PVC pipes. PVC pipes give you better sound quality, but they are less easy to cut than straws. Take this into consideration when you are choosing the right material for your project. If you are using straws to create your pipes, buy fat straws meant for smoothies or bubble tea. You can find these at stores like Walmart or at your grocery store. Make sure not to get normal or restaurant-style straws. These are not as effective as thicker straws and are much harder to play. If you are using PVC pipe, buy a inch PVC schedule 40 pipe at stores like Home Depot or Walmart. Use scissors to cut straw pipes, and a rotary conduit cutter or hack saw to cut PVC pipe. It can be difficult to say exactly what notes the pipes will create when you cut them to certain lengths, because the pitch also depends on the width of the straws or PVC pipe, which can vary across brands. However, you can get a well-tuned set of pipes in a diatonic scale by cutting your pipes to the following lengths: Pipe 1: 17.5 cm Pipe 2: 15.5 cm Pipe 3: 13.5 cm Pipe 4: 12.5 cm Pipe 5: 11 cm Pipe 6: 10 cm Pipe 7: 9 cm Pipe 8: 8.5 cm You can also blow across your pipes and see if they produce the sound you want. You can cut your pipes shorter if you want a different sound. For this reason, it's always a good idea to cut your pipes slightly longer than needed, because you can always adjust them to make them shorter. In order to produce sound, you will need to plug the bottom of the pipes. Take modeling clay and make it into a flat circle. Then take a straw or PVC pipe and stamp into the clay with an end. Twist the pipe or straw, then lift it up. This should leave a circle exactly the size of the opening. Take out this piece of clay. Take the clay plug you made and push it into one of the pipes you have cut for your pan pipes. This will plug the bottom. To make sure it stays, take some tape and wrap it around the bottom of the pipe to secure it. Do this process for the remaining pipes.

SUMMARY: Buy your supplies. Cut the pipes. Make a clay plug. Plug the bottom of the pipe.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A writing prompt can take any number of forms. It can be a specific scenario, such as a scene from everyday life or something a little bit fantastical. For instance, the prompt could be something of this nature: "You open your closet door to find your clothes aren't there anymore. Instead, you see horse-drawn carriages and people walking in what appears to be London. What happens next?" It could be an old postcard, where you write about something related to the picture. It could be an intriguing quote (such as "Half the lies they tell about me aren't true," by Yogi Berra) or even a snippet of someone else's writing. Though a writing prompt is a good starting place, you don't have to follow the prompt exactly. Once you begin writing, let your ideas take you where you want to go. Also, if the writing prompt is suggested for a certain kind of genre, do not feel restricted to only that genre. Who knows, a science fiction prompt might spark an idea for a great romance plot. That is the whole point of writing prompts; to get you writing, but still allow you to develop your own ideas. Right now, you probably just want to generate ideas. Some of what you write at this stage will be awful, and that's okay; it's supposed to be. However, you should also be able to come up with some really great ideas if you just let your mind wander a little. Don't think too hard about what you should be writing, just write. Try to turn off that really analytical part of your brain that wants to edit as you go. Always remember that what you're writing doesn't need to be perfect, especially in a first draft. The spelling doesn't need to be free of typos, and each sentence doesn't need to fit perfectly with the next one. If you expect your writing to be perfect before you ever put it on the page, you will never write anything. Instead, you'll be plagued by crippling writer's block. Writing takes revision, and the first draft isn't the time to be thinking about editing. Once you've spent time generating ideas and free writing, consider how you can develop the ideas you generated. Maybe you just want to use a short passage and develop it into a larger story. Maybe you came up with several ideas that will work for a series of poems. Maybe you have a nearly complete story that just needs some revision. Circle ideas you like. If you really like a paragraph, but it doesn't fit in to what else is going on in your writing, keep it in a word document for later. You might just be able to use it somewhere else. Once you feel like you have a story or poem, take the time to revise, revise, revise. Look for typos and misspelled words. Think about how you put sentences together. Read it aloud; does it sound weird or out-of-place in some parts? You'll probably want to rewrite those parts. Don't forget to have someone else read over your work. They can give you invaluable feedback and catch mistakes that you missed. The point of the writing prompt is to get you started, but to be a good writer you also need the drive to keep going and the patience to revise once you have a draft story or poem.

SUMMARY:
Use writing prompts as a starting place. Don't feel like you need to follow the prompt exactly. Write whatever comes to mind. Remember that your writing doesn't need to be perfect in your first few drafts. Organize and develop your writing. Revise your writing.
