Problem: Article: You should think about how someone might get around in the universe. Maybe they hop on a super plane and travel by air or they have to travel by horse across many lands. Perhaps your universe contains cities that have public transit systems that run on magic. Factoring in the transportation system will help to create the infrastructure of the universe and make it easier for you to place your characters in this world. You may also want to consider if there are certain modes of transportation that are only used by certain groups or beings. For example, maybe the wizards in the universe get around by flying broomstick and the fairies get around by flying dragon. Or, maybe humans use the bus while elves use horses to get around. Think about how beings might interact in a public space, such as on the street, on public transit, or in a village or town. Do certain groups greet each other with special signs or words? Are there common customs among all the beings in the universe or unique customs for each group? Focusing on the accepted and unaccepted customs will help you get a better sense of how certain characters will act in the universe. For example, maybe humans in the universe greet each other by using computerized glasses to say hello. Or, maybe a certain group acknowledges each other with a simple facial gesture or hand motion. Not knowing the accepted customs may lead to consequences in the universe, such as excommunication from a group or community. You should also think about what the beings in the universe wear and how their clothing affects their status in a group or community. Maybe all the male beings in the universe wear leather loincloths and carry swords or all the female beings in the universe wear pants and carry whips. Dress can be a good marker of where a character belongs in the universe. You should try to think about how your main characters might be dressed, based on their status in the universe. Maybe one character dresses in all black because he was born into a certain group or one character always wears long, flowing dresses because she is the member of a higher social class. One way to get a better sense of the daily routines of someone in your fictional world is to write out a day in the life of your main character. You may start with how the character wakes up in the morning and how she prepares for her day. Think about how she gets dressed, how she speaks, what she eats, and if she prays to any higher power before she goes out into the world.
Summary: Consider the transportation system. Determine the accepted and unaccepted customs. Think about the clothing and dress in the universe. Outline a day in the life of one of your main characters.

Problem: Article: " This game is much like FLAME. It is also random, but can be played with friends for fun or to explore your true feelings for someone. The romantic twinge you feel deep down when you select that certain someone could mean your feel for that person as more than a friend. To play this game you'll need a blank piece of paper and a pen or pencil. On one side of your paper, you should write two lists of people: one male and the other female. These lists should have an equal number of people in each and can even include famous people, if you want to have fun with it! On the back of your paper, write a list of simple actions. You can include as many or as few actions as you wish, some examples of actions including: hug, shake hands, poke, wave. You can do this many different ways, but you'll want to fold your paper so that your lists are hidden from view. Try folding your paper in half three times - depending on where you've written your list, this kind of fold might work for you. Now that your paper is folded in such a way that your lists can't be seen, blank parts of your paper should be all that is visible. On the side that is face up, draw a button and label it "Button", "The Button", or "Push." Ask a friend who is willing to play to "push the button" and, when she does, open your paper to the side with your lists of people. Be careful that you do not show your friend any of your lists. You should keep your lists of people and actions secret. You should ask your friend what gender she wants to choose for this round of "Push the Button." When she has chosen either "Boy" or "Girl," you should ask her to choose a number. This is the subject, or the person you will be performing an action to/on. Now that you know the "who" you and your friend need to find out what will happen to that person. Turn to your action list and ask your friend to choose a number. Once she does, you will can tell her what she is going to do and who she will do it to! For example, if your friend chose the name "Alex" and the action "shake hands," once these decisions have been made you would tell her, "You are going to... shake hands with Alex!"
Summary: Prepare to play "Push the Button. Write down your subject group. Come up with your action list. Fold your paper. Draw your button. Get a friend to push the button. Have your friend choose. Determine the action and tell your friend.

Problem: Article: Buy your dress a few months in advance to allow time for alterations. Additionally, choose a dress that flatters your body type and fits in with your wedding vision. For example, if you're getting married in a ballroom, you may not want to wear a simple shift dress. If you're having trouble choosing a dress, bring some close friends or family members along to help you choose. Purchase wedding shoes that match your dress. Many bridal boutiques also offer bridesmaid dresses. If possible, you can kill two birds with one stone by shopping for bridesmaids dresses at the same time. Avoid getting beauty treatments the day before the wedding. If you have an adverse reaction, you won't have time to recover from any rashes or swelling. Instead, get these treatments done a week or two before the wedding. Beauty treatments can include: Hair waxing Eyebrow shaping Facials and other skin treatments Hair coloring If you have room in your budget, consider getting your hair and makeup done professionally. A professional makeup artist will be able to give you a flawless look that will last all day. Similarly, a professional hair stylist can do your hair quickly and securely. If possible, book "in home" services that will allow the stylists to come to you. With some practice, you can also do your own hair and makeup. An emergency bag will help correct any wardrobe, makeup, or hair problems that may occur throughout the wedding. If you don't have time to assemble this bag yourself, ask a trusted friend or family member to assemble it for you. This emergency bag can include: Spare makeup for touch-ups Deodorant Headache medicine Breath mints A small sewing kit No matter how beautiful your dress, makeup, and hair are, you won't look good without a smile. However, after an hour or two of posing for pictures, you may have trouble looking genuine while smiling. If you need help faking one, try chuckling quietly just before the photo is taken.
Summary:
Purchase a wedding dress. Get any beauty treatments done ahead of time. Consider booking professional beauticians. Bring an emergency bag to the wedding. Smile.
