Problem: Article: A character profile includes a wide range of details about your character, including how they look, where they are from, what they do for a living, their likes and dislikes, and much more!This profile will be a useful organizing tool to reference throughout your writing process. At the beginning, it will help you determine which visual aspects of the character are important to share with readers. If you are an artist, draw a picture of your character. Provide as much detail as possible. The more details you know, the better you can pick out the unusual ones to share with readers. If you are not an artist, then try using a character illustration generator website or software to help you visualize your character. Don't dress them in a generic plain t-shirt without you detailing what makes it different from every other shirt like it. Does it have any tears or old stains, indicating perhaps this is a favorite shirt? Maybe a logo or designer brand that shows their personal style or places they frequent. Your goal is to create a visual snapshot of an interesting person your readers want to get to know better. Do not exhaustively detail every facet of your character's appearance. Ask yourself, as an observer, what is the first thing you notice about this person? Do they have scars, tattoos, or unusual physical features (like wide, clear blue eyes) that stand out? Can you see their facial features or does a hat or pair of oversized sunglasses hide their face? A description that does not encourage readers' imaginations may be accurate, but will not be interesting. Use metaphors to compare two things that are unrelated, yet share a common feature. Examples of metaphors include "blind as a bat," "a blanket of snow," and "a heart of gold." Instead of simply stating your character has green eyes, for example, describe the exact shade of green by referencing an object readers will recognize. Are they pea green, forest green, or the color of Crayola finger paint? Avoid cliches and aim for original comparisons. Cliches like "she is lovely as a rose" are so common that readers instantly recognize them without having to think about what they mean. This statement fails to say anything important about the woman since beauty is a subjective judgment. Be specific and use your imagination.
Summary: Start creating a character profile. Focus on your character's unique attributes and/or personal quirks. Use creative descriptors instead of simple adjectives.

Problem: Article: Pick up the bulk of the vomit with a couple of dry, folded paper towels, but take care not to squash the vomit particles down into the carpet. Using a spoon or knife may help. Start blotting and dabbing the vomit until the chunks and moisture are mostly gone. With each blot and dab, be sure to use a clean section of the towel; you may need more than one towel if the carpeted area is large. This will absorb the rest of the moisture that remains below the surface of the carpet. Cover the entire carpeted area with baking soda or corn starch. The baking soda or corn starch will likely dry within 2 hours, and they may become clumpy. Once the baking soda or corn starch is dry, use a vacuum to completely suck up the remaining particles. These cleaners are readily available in the cleaning aisle of your local store, or in the pet supplies aisle. Check the container before buying the cleaner to make sure it is enzyme based; this means the cleaner will break down the odor-causing proteins so they can be removed - a good example is Nature's Miracle. They are effective in removing stains, too. Spray the area with the cleaner until it is very damp. The cleaner container may say that the cleaner needs to sit for a longer or shorter period of time. Read the back of the container for specific instructions. Generally, 1-2 hours will allow the product to remove stains and odor. You may even want to keep your pet in a different room for the time being. Once the cleaner completely dries, it can be walked on again.
Summary: Use paper towels to remove as much of the vomit as possible. Using paper towels or an old rag, absorb any remaining moisture. Sprinkle the area with baking soda or corn starch. Vacuum up the baking soda or corn starch once dry. Apply an enzyme based carpet cleaner. Let the cleaner sit for 1-2 hours. Keep your pet away from the area until it dries.

Problem: Article: The can should have a shiny surface to reflect light and heat away. Metal is the best material to use for this particular experiment. Fill the can about 2/3 full, leaving enough space to add ice cubes. Add the cubes gradually, stirring the ice water mixture with a thermometer as you do so. This will keep the can surface the same temperature as the water. Continue adding ice, a few cubes at a time. Stir after each addition until the cubes have melted. Keep adding ice until you see water condense on the outside of the can. This is the dew point temperature. The dew point is the temperature at which water completely saturates the air and water vapor condenses. The can and water are a simplified form of a chilled mirror hygrometer, a device with electronic sensors which meteorologists use to measure dew point. The higher the dew point temperature, the more someone will feel the moisture in the air.
Summary: Fill a metal can with water. Add ice cubes, continuously stirring until condensation forms on the can's surface. Read the temperature on the thermometer.

Problem: Article: the car. Focus on deep cleaning the area where the paint is chipped. Making sure the area is clean will help you identify all the spots that need to be touched up and will reduce the risk of getting dirt and grime in the new paint. Use car washing soap, water, and a clean, soft cloth to clean the scratched area. Be sure to thoroughly dry the area that is scratched after you wash it. Look at the scratched area for discoloration on the metal. If you find an area that is dark red or brown, it is likely rust. Use sand paper to remove all areas of discoloration and then wipe down the area with a dry cloth to remove any dust. It's important to remove any wax on areas that need to have paint adhere to them. Wax isn't typically removed by soap and water, so a specific remover is needed. Wax removers are available at most auto parts stores. These rust removal products are made specifically for removing rust on the bodies of cars. Use a small piece of sandpaper to sand all around the scratch. Try to remove all loose paint from the area while you sand. This process will also give the touch-up paint a clean surface to stick to. Wash the area with water to remove any leftover debris from the pre-treating process. Allow the area to dry thoroughly before moving on to the next step.
Summary:
Wash Check for rust and remove any you find. Apply a wax and grease remover to the area being fixed. Sand the area to prep the surface. Wipe down the area once more.
