Summarize the following:
To help you keep things straight, it can be beneficial to make a page for every main character in the story. You can write down things like the character's physical description, their backstory (what happened before the novel), their education level and job, and their personalities. You can also include things like their quirks and idiosyncrasies. Having these pages to refer back to will help you keep the details straight while you're writing. "Likeable" characters tend to be goody-goodies without much depth. To create whole, interesting characters, they need flaws and weaknesses, while still allowing the reader to connect with them. For flaws, maybe a character is always late, hates their mother, or doesn't get along with their colleagues. If you need examples, think about people you know or you've met in the past. You can make the characters empathetic in a number of ways. They can be having financial problems or be the victim in the story. You can display them being selfless, even when they act with self-interest at other times, such as having a killer who fawns over their cat. For instance, Sherlock Holmes isn't necessarily likeable. However, he's interesting, and readers find him empathetic because he is very intelligent and good at what he does. Typically, you don't want to point to just a single person in your story as the suspect. Where's the mystery in that? Instead, you should include a variety of people who could be suspects, as many as 5 or 6. Variety will keep things more interesting, as well as keep your readers guessing. Each potential suspect should have a different motive for killing the victim, and each one should be as plausible as the next. Otherwise, the writing can seem a bit flat. For instance, you don't want every suspect's motive to be killing the person for money. Instead, you could have one person's motive be they want to keep a secret quiet, another person's be they want the victim's money, while a third suspect's motive could be they were jealous of an affair the victim was having. The person you finally choose to be your culprit should be capable of the crime on every level. They must be physically able to do it, as well as emotionally. If they're not, your readers are going to feel cheated. For instance, a feeble older man is not likely capable of picking up a body and dumping it off a bridge, not matter how much adrenaline is pumping through his system. Often, a murder mystery follows the detective. Whether you tell the story from the detective's point of view (an intense but slightly skewed view) or from a third-person perspective (which gives you a wider view of the story), you should still know your detective inside and out. Decide things like: Is the detective completely logical, or do they rely on hunches sometimes? Are they very analytical, looking at every detail, or are they better at the big picture? What are their idiosyncrasies? What helps them think properly? Are they caffeine addicts? Do they sleep at their desk? The little details will help the character become more real. For instance, Sherlock Holmes is very logical and doesn't rely on hunches at all. But he's also logical almost to a fault, meaning his relationships often suffer because he doesn't rely on emotions enough. Some of his idiosyncrasies include things like needing another person to bounce ideas off of, playing the violin, and conducting odd experiments to learn more about crime-solving. You can open the story with the victim already dead, and unspool the details of their life throughout the story. Alternatively, you can introduce the victim in the story as a character, and then move on to the murder. When creating your victim, consider how you want them to contribute to the story. For instance, a likeable victim will immediately set the reader against the killer. However, if the victim was a despicable person, the reader may hold out judgment on the killer. Create a backstory for the victim to help readers care about them. Introduce it slowly through the story. You can even use one of your potential suspects as a victim later on in the story if the murderer kills again.

summary: Create a character sheet for each character. Make your characters empathetic, not necessarily likeable. Include a variety of suspects. Figure out your suspects' motives. Make the murderer believable. Crawl into the detective's head. Set up your victim or victims.

If you think you may have FSD, and you also think there is no physical or medical reason for it (or you've already been assessed by a doctor), make an appointment to speak to a psychologist. Don't be embarrassed about seeking help from a psychologist. If you think there's a problem, and you want to fix it, they will be able to help. Find a psychologist who specializes in FSD or other sexual problems and issues. If you are lesbian, bisexual or transgender, you can also look for psychologists who specialize in treating LGBT individuals. A psychologist can only help you effectively if you tell them the truth, and are as open and honest as possible. Treatment plans will be based on what you said, so if you aren't honest you may waste your time trying a treatment plan not designed for your specific situation. Your psychologist will most likely ask about the following things: A complete history of the sexual problem you're experiencing. When it started, what the exact symptoms are, etc. Some details about your sexual history and past relationships. Information about your physical health, including anything you may have been tested for medically and what the results were. Information about your emotional health, including what's going on in your life (in general), how your job is going, what stresses you out, how you're feeling, etc. You and your psychologist will develop a treatment plan together. Your psychologist will customize the treatment based on your specific circumstances and needs. Some possible treatments may include: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) CBT is used to help you identify and change the feelings, thoughts, and behaviours you have that are causing the problem. CBT is normally conducted on a weekly or bi-weekly basis with a psychologist, plus through at-home exercises you can do on your own. Mindfulness-based Interventions Mindfulness works by helping you feel and understand your body and its various sensations. Mindfulness is achieved by not judging, criticizing or measuring those feelings against anything else, it is simply learning how to feel.

summary: Make an appointment with a psychologist. Answer your psychologist's questions honestly. Develop a treatment plan.

Pour your beans into a colander, and jiggle the colander under running water for one minute to wash residual dirt off your beans. You can sift through the beans with your fingers to help clean them. Soaking canned beans will make them mushy. Only soak dried beans. Pour your rinsed beans onto a baking sheet and sort through them with your fingers. Throw any bits of gravel or other debris in the trash. Leave at least 6 inches (15cm) of space between your beans and the top. Add cool tap water 4 cups (946 ml) at a time to your rinsed beans. Keep adding the water until your beans are fully submerged by at least 2 inches (5.1cm) of liquid. For example, a 1-quart pot would leave plenty of room for cup (100 g) of dried pinto beans. Pour the salt into the pot, and give the salted water a stir with a large spoon to help the salt dissolve. Finer salt will dissolve more easily than coarse salt. Use the same amount of salt no matter which salt you use. For a shortcut, soak your pinto beans overnight, so you can cook with them in the morning. Soaking allows the salt to fully penetrate and flavor your beans. Use a colander to strain your soaked beans. Discard the soaking water in the sink. Then, pour the pinto beans back into the pot you soaked them in. Cook your beans as desired over a medium heat on the stove top, using a 3:1 ratio of water to beans. If your recipe calls for salty ingredients such as broth or ham, season with less salt during cooking to prevent an overly salty dish. Achieving tender pinto beans typically takes 1-2 hours.
summary: Rinse dried pinto beans with cool tap water. Inspect your rinsed beans for any impurities. Pour your sorted pinto beans into a large, clean pot. Add 1 Tbsp of salt (17 g) for every 4 cups (946 ml) of water. Soak your beans for at least 6-8 hours. Rinse your beans with cool water before cooking. Add a pinch of salt to your beans for cooking.
