Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Self-publish Find a literary agent. Publish for local consumption only.

Answer: . This is a viable and respectable option in today's publishing world. Search online for companies that will help you self-publish your book. You may want to create an eBook, or you may want to have copies of your book printed. You can spend as little or as much money as you want on self-publishing, and you'll be able to avoid the lengthy process of publishing a book through more traditional means. Some self-publishing companies provide higher quality services than others. Before choosing a company, look into the type of paper they use, and try to obtain samples of other books they have published. When you self-publish a book, you still have a shot at getting it published by a traditional publishing house down the road. In fact, you'll have a sample of your finished book to send them with your pitch. If it looks beautiful, this can give you an edge over other submissions. If you have your heart set on publishing your book with a traditional publishing house, it's best to find an agent to help you through the process. Research agents who work with children's books in the United States can be found at www.writersmarket.com. Similar agent organizations will exist in other countries too. Send agents a query letter and a book synopsis. If agents are interested, they'll reply with a request to see the manuscript. It may take weeks or months to receive a reply. If your book is not picked up by an agent, you may send your query letter and synopsis directly to publishers that accept unsolicited manuscripts. Research companies that publish books like yours before contacting publishers. If your book is picked up by an agent, he or she may ask you to make revisions to the manuscript to make it more appealing to potential publishers. When it's ready, the agent will send pitches to publishers that seem like the right fit. Again, the process can take months, and there's no guarantee your book will be published. Writing a children's book is by itself a huge accomplishment. There's no need to seek wide publication if you don't want to. Sometimes it's more personal to just share it with the people who matter. Consider printing the manuscript at the copy store and binding it to give to a few friends, or to children in your family. Many copy stores have services that allow you to print and bind full-color booklets that look very professional.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick a movie. Decide where you're going to watch. Set up the display. Get comfortable. Watch the movie. Clean up after.

Answer:
Whatever you'd like to watch. There's really no wrong answer. Use Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Crackle, or wherever else on the Internet you like to get film. Your bed, your couch, your favorite chair, the bathtub. You'll want to make sure the area is prepped and ready to accommodate however you're watching the movie. Whether it's on a big screen or a small one you'll want to make sure you're ready to sit down for at least an hour or so. You'll want to make sure your screen works and that you have sound before you start. Troubleshooting in the middle of a movie or just after you begin it is frustrating and can be easily avoided. If your display has pre-set color values make sure they're suitable for the movie you're watching, as an incorrectly calibrated display can cause colors to seem overexposed or lacking in intensity. Prepare your favorite snacks and drinks, pick a comfortable position, sit back, and relax. You should make sure you're in an optimal viewing angle and that you are positioned within range of your speakers. If you're watching multiple movies, queuing them in a playlist is a useful feature in most media players. Make whatever food you enjoy. Popcorn is an easy and cheap snack for movies, and is extremely simple to make . You can go big as well and have an elaborate meal, but it adds to your cleanup and prep time considerably. Any drinks you enjoy should be stocked as well so you can stay refreshed throughout the movie. This is the easy part. Keep your eyes open and your ears unclogged. Have your phone on silent if you'd like to minimize distractions. It shouldn't be a big mess depending on how low-key you kept your snacks. If you use the popcorn recipe provided, you should only have a bowl and a pot to clean up. Make sure you've swept the area for any debris and that it's in the condition it was in before you used it.
