Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose your management structure. Pick a registered agent. File your articles of organization. Draft your operating agreement. Publish a notice. Obtain your Employer Identification Number (EIN). Register with your state tax office.

Answer: You can have a member-managed or manager-managed LLC. A member-managed LLC is run by all of its members. By contrast, a manager-managed LLC has passive investors who do not take part in running the business. If you’re a small LLC, chances are you’ll be member-managed. If someone wants to sue your LLC, they need to serve papers on someone. This person will be your registered agent. One of the LLC founders can serve as the registered agent, or you can pay a company to serve as your agent. This paperwork goes by different names, depending on your state. For example, it might be called a “certificate of formation” or “certificate of organization.” Regardless of the name, you must file the paperwork with your Secretary of State.  Your state should have “fill in the blank” articles of organization to use. You can download them online. In some states, you can file your articles of organization online. You’ll need to pay a filing fee, which will vary by state. However, it shouldn’t be more than a couple hundred dollars. This document is the operating manual for your business. Your state probably won’t require that you file your operating agreement, but you should keep it at your principal place of business. A solid operating agreement should contain the following:  A description of your business purpose. An identification of each member and their ownership percentage. The rights and duties of the members. An explanation of the members’ voting power. You can decide to give each member an equal vote or weight the vote according to ownership percentage. An explanation of how profits and losses will be distributed. Your rules for calling and holding meetings. A buy-sell agreement, which explains what happens if a member dies, quits, or is removed from the LLC. In some states, you need to publish your intent to create an LLC in a local newspaper. Typically, the notice must run for several weeks, after which you submit an affidavit of publication as proof. Check with your Secretary of State’s office. Your EIN is your LLC’s federal tax ID.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use fewer chemicals to clean your home. Dispose of waste properly. Don't flush medication. Don't flush trash. Conserve as much water as possible. Avoid using plastic.

Answer: It's an easy switch that makes a big difference. Using toxic chemicals like bleach and ammonia to clean your home is not only bad for the water supply, it's not necessary. Natural cleaners are just as effective at getting the house clean, and you don't have to worry that you're contributing to water pollution when you use them.  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides a list of cleaning products (as well as a variety of other products) that are considered "green," meaning they won't pollute the water supply. See epa.gov/greenerproducts.  Common household supplies like white vinegar and baking soda can be used for everything from washing windows to scrubbing bathroom tiles, and they're completely non-toxic. Never pour something that isn't biodegradable down the drain. When it is necessary to use something that's toxic to the water supply, such as paint or ammonia, take care to dispose of it properly. If you're not sure how to get rid of something, check your local government's website or contact your sanitation department to find out how toxic waste should be disposed of in your community. The following materials should never be poured down the drain:  Paint Motor oil Cleaning solvents Ammonia Pool chemicals Medication is made with a variety of substances that can be detrimental to the water supply. If you have leftover medication, look into local "take back" programs that allow you to turn in medication so it can be disposed of properly. That way it won't end up back in the drinking water, where it can harm people and animals. Flushing items that don't break down, like diapers, wet wipes, and plastic tampon applicators can cause problems in the sewer system. These items will eventually end up in local streams, rivers and other bodies of water, where they can harm fish and other wildlife. Instead of flushing them down the toilet, throw them away. You can also help by using cloth diapers, recycled toilet paper and biodegradable tampons, which reduces the number of items that end up in the landfill. Conservation is an important way to help preserve water as a global resource. Treating water so it's clean enough to drink and use around the house requires a lot of energy, so it's important to conserve as much as possible, especially in areas where droughts are occurring. Adopt the following habits to conserve more water around your house:  Take showers instead of baths, since baths require more water. Turn off your faucets when you aren't using water, such as when you're brushing your teeth. Don't overwater your lawn. Make sure lawn sprinklers are turned off when it rains. Water your garden before the sun comes up or after it sets to reduce evaporation, which leads to water waste. Since it isn't biodegradable, plastic often ends up collecting in rivers, lakes, and oceans when it has nowhere else to go. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, for example, is a huge vortex of trash, mainly plastic, that has collected in the ocean since it has nowhere else to go. This trash endangers marine life and affects humans as well. Whenever possible, use glass or cloth containers instead of plastic.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pour primer into the paint tray.

Answer: Do not overfill the tray to the point that the angled part of the tray with ridges is covered with primer. You will only need an inch or two or primer in the tray.  You can use a cheap tray liner to line the tray so that you do not need to use multiple trays. Be sure to pour the primer into your tray over the tarp or you may drip primer onto your floors. You only need to apply primer on walls made out of fresh drywall or bare wood. Keep in mind that primer will take up to a day to dry before you can paint.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Figure out if your love story will be your main story. Pick the genre in which you want to set your story. Decide what kind of emotional ending you want for your story. Consider whether you want your story to have a larger message.

Answer:
A love story can be your main focus or it can be part of a larger tale. Decide whether you want your love story to be the main focus of your writing, or if you want it to enhance your main story.  Framing a love story as part of a larger story can create a more realistic, relatable feeling to your writing. Focusing primarily on romance can be sweeping, epic, and more escapist. Neither is inherently better or worse, they’re just different styles. For example, Love in the Time of Cholera is driven by its love story, but it also deals with themes of social strife, warfare, disease, aging, and death. It's also defined not just by its love story but by its magical realism, making it part of a strong Latino literary tradition. Love stories don’t have to be romance novels. They play out across the daily lives of your characters and can work in any type of genre. Decide whether you want to write a more traditional romance or if you want to frame your story in another genre.  To get an idea of how love stories are framed across genres, read books and short stories from the genres in which you’re interested. Noir, sci-fi, fantasy, historical fiction, and comedic writing are some good genres to explore. Pay attention to how different authors in these genres develop different conventions of a love story. Do you want your characters to get their happily-ever-after? Will they learn that love isn’t enough? Do you want something vague and open-ended? Deciding what kind of emotional resolution you want at the end of your story helps sculpt your plot and narrative. You can change this as you progress with your story if find that a different ending fits how your plot and characters develop. This should be a guide, but it doesn’t need to be a rule. A love story for the sake of a love story can be a beautiful thing if that’s what you want to write. However, many modern romance authors are considering the social contexts of what they are putting out, such as race, gender, and class. Think about whether you want your story to have a larger message.  There is no right or wrong answer to this, but it is important to consider the message you’re putting out. Love stories commonly deal with topics like social inequity, body image, gender equality, sexual orientation, class difference, and ethnic identity.
