In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: 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.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Vomiting can quickly lead to dehydration, so keep yourself hydrated by drinking 8-10 glasses of water throughout the day. Stay on a regular schedule and take sips of water every 15 minutes while you're actively vomiting. However, drinking too quickly could cause more vomiting, so take small sips instead of large gulps. Ice-cold drinks are much more soothing to the stomach than lukewarm or hot drinks. Keep your water or juice in the refrigerator so it's cold when you drink it. If plain water is making you nauseous, try squeezing some lemon juice into it for flavor. Sometimes sugary drinks like soda are more soothing for your stomach. Try drinking some ginger ale if water is making you nauseous. Sometimes drinking liquids can cause more vomiting. Sucking on an ice cube releases water slowly, which keeps you hydrated and avoids triggering further nausea. Don't bite down on the ice cubes. This could damage your teeth and also make you swallow too much water at once. If you've been vomiting for several hours, then your body is probably low on electrolytes, sodium, and other nutrients. Replace these by switching from water to sports drinks for a little while. These drinks provide electrolytes so you don't get dehydrated further. Products like Pedialyte are also good for replenishing nutrients. Follow the same rules that you used for drinking water. Make sure the drink is cold and drink it slowly to avoid overfilling your stomach. You need to replenish lost nutrients from vomiting, but be careful about what you eat to prevent more nausea. Plain or bland foods are best. Good options are crackers, toast, potatoes, and rice. Bananas and applesauce are also good options that usually don't upset your stomach. Eat as much as you can tolerate to replenish lost nutrients. Watery foods like broth or soup are good as well because they keep you hydrated. Avoid greasy and spicy foods, fast food, fried foods, and overly sweet foods. Dairy products can also make nausea worse. Too much food on your stomach may trigger more nausea and vomiting. Try to nibble on smaller meals throughout the day, rather than eating large meals. Eat slowly and don't force yourself to eat too much at once. Try to have 5 smaller meals instead of 3 large ones. Even if you have no appetite, try to have little snacks. This prevents further problems from a lack of nutrients.
Summary: Drink 8-10 glasses of water to prevent dehydration. Suck on an ice cube if you can't keep liquids down. Have sports drinks if you've been vomiting for a long time. Eat bland foods to prevent further vomiting. Have small meals to avoid being too full.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Eat the berries that are super ripe since they won't last in the refrigerator. Throw away or compost the ones that have mold spots or are bruised. Don't wash the berries until you're ready to eat them. Otherwise the moisture from rinsing will cause them to rot. Choose a container that's big enough that all of the berries can fit without being smashed. Use as many paper towels as necessary to cover the entire inside of the container. Then carefully pour the berries on top of the paper towel lining. The paper towels will soak up any extra moisture that's lingering on the berries so they don't mold. Use the original container if you want. Rinse it out and line it with paper towels before dumping the berries back into it. Do not seal the container completely. Leave the lid open enough so that any remaining moisture or condensation can evaporate instead of rotting the berries. If the berries came in a clamshell container with holes for ventilation, leave the holes at the top of the container unblocked so air can pass through. The optimal refrigerator temperature for berries is between 36 and 40F (2 and 4C). If you don't eat them within 5 days or if you notice mold, throw them away. Don't keep the berries in the crisper drawer. The humidity is too high and the air doesn't circulate as well. Put them on a shelf instead. When you're ready to eat the berries, rinse them with cool water first to remove bacteria and dirt.
Summary:
Sort through the berries and pull out any that are moldy or overripe. Put the berries in a plastic container lined with paper towels. Lay the lid on top of the container so that it's slightly ajar. Keep the berries in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
