Q: In other words, commit yourself to getting your book out there, and don’t use “it’s not quite ready yet” as a permanent excuse. Revising, refining, and editing are all essential to a good book, but at some point you have to have the courage to get it published.  Seeking publication can feel a bit like losing control over your manuscript, after all the time you’ve spent working and re-working it. Keep reminding yourself that your book deserves to be seen and read! If necessary, impose a deadline on yourself: “I’m going to submit this to publishers by January 15, one way or the other!” You can submit your manuscript to publishers yourself, but you’ll increase your odds of success by working with an agent. They’ll have the experience and industry contacts needed to give your work a better chance of finding the right publisher. Unless you live near a book publishing hotbed, your best bet is to search online for literary agents.  Evaluate potential agents and look for the best fit for you and your manuscript. If you know any published authors, ask them for tips and leads on agents. Typically, you’ll submit excerpts or even your entire manuscript to an agent, and they’ll decide whether to take you on as a client. Make sure you’re clear on their submission guidelines before proceeding. If your book has a small target audience due to its subject matter, it may be tough to find a publisher to take it on. This is especially the case when you’re a new author. Fortunately, you have options when it comes to publishing the book yourself.  You can self-publish copies on your own, which may save you money but will take up a lot of time. You’ll be responsible for everything from obtaining a copyright to designing the cover to getting the actual pages printed. You can work through self-publishing companies, but you’ll often end up paying more to get your book published than you’ll ever make back from selling it. Self-publishing an e-book may be a viable option since the publishing costs are low and your book immediately becomes accessible to a wide audience. Evaluate different e-book publishers carefully before choosing the right one for you.
A: Keep revising your book, but don’t make excuses for not submitting it. Hire a literary agent if you’re aiming for traditional publication. Look into self-publishing options if the traditional route isn’t ideal.

Article: Even though it is said that nobody should judge a book by its cover, first impressions count enormously when people don't know one another yet. It is always in your favor to look your best.  In those first moments, you will be sized up and categorized depending on what you're wearing, how much you've groomed yourself and whether you've cleaned your shoes, no matter how much you may resent this reality! To help yourself meet women, stay well groomed and dress stylishly, according to your own tastes. When looking to meet someone, wear clothes that represent you. They should be in good condition, pressed if needed (obviously not all clothing needs pressing, so use your instincts), free of holes and without stains. Keep your hair in good shape. Take time in the morning to style your hair, shave, and get a haircut every 8 weeks. Leave the grungy workshop or gardening clothes at home. Unclean, messy clothing reduces your confidence and doesn't help you to stand out. Grungy clothing on either sex tells the world, "I'm not interested at the moment, thanks." Go easy on the cologne. She shouldn't be able to smell you from across the room. Be the type of man a woman would want. Take small opportunities to show her you're a gentleman. Then, of course, follow up with casual conversation.  If you see a woman with her hands full, offer to help! A courteous stranger will be sure to pique her interest. Any situation can be an opportunity to converse. Explain a bus schedule, inform her of a better value down the street, or offer her spare change when she's fumbling through her purse. Don't expect anything in return, however; allow her to reciprocate.

Look the part. Act the part.

Problem: Article: Are you ready to be the owner of a land turtle? They live a long time, can grow quite large, are not great pets for young children, and their care and feeding can be quite expensive (special lights, enclosures, vet visits). Because of their longevity, you also need to realize that your tortoise, if well cared for, can easily outlive you. Turtles are omnivores and require some time in the water. Tortoises are herbivores and are land-based. Both require appropriate outdoor and indoor environments and need good and attentive care if they are to thrive. Land turtles may have the reputation as an “easy” pet, but they actually require quite a bit of work. Observe the pets, and look at photos of some possibilities. Which ones do you like? Which ones do long-time turtle keepers recommend? If it’s your first turtle, you also should ask which ones are easiest to care for and best for first-time owners. Land turtles, when cared for properly, need to be outside at least part of the time. Choose a turtle that can thrive where you live. This means if you live in a humid place, choose a turtle that likes those conditions. Get a turtle that thrives in arid places if you live in the desert. This will make it much easier to care for your turtle because you won’t have to create a new outdoor environment for the turtle and keep it regulated. This is essential if you might move, changing the environment to which the turtle is exposed. Trying to create a new outdoor-like environment for a humidity-loving turtle in a snowy climate can get very difficult and expensive. Just as choosing a turtle that thrives in your outdoor environment makes caring for it much easier, so too does choosing a turtle native to your country and region. Not all areas have native land turtles, but ask around for the turtles most likely to thrive in your area. Turtles from elsewhere are often taken from the wild, leading to the depletion of native turtle and tortoise populations around the world. For the health of the environment and native turtles, domestically-bred turtles or rescued turtles are the best choice.
Summary: Investigate your choices. Decide if you want a turtle or tortoise. Visit turtle breeders and talk to other turtle owners online. Keep in mind the climate where you live. Choose smaller land turtles. Look for native land turtles. Buy a turtle from a breeder or rescue organization.

Q: Use white construction paper cut in circles and color in the moon phases with markers or use halves of styrofoam balls glued to posterboard to make a 3D representation. Color in the foam balls with a black marker to show the waxing and waning of the moon phases. This is vital to being able to create an accurate chart. There are eight main phases of the moon, each lasting roughly 3.5 days. The phase of the moon depends upon the way in which the moon is positioned in relation to the sun and earth at any given time. The eight phases are:  New moon Waxing crescent First quarter Waxing gibbous Full moon Waning gibbous Last quarter Waning crescent Different positions of the moon relative to the earth and sun produce the visible phases of the moon. The moon phases chart is designed to describe the visibility of the moon at different points as it orbits the earth. By placing Earth in the center of your chart, you keep this concept in perspective. The sun is typically placed on the right side of the chart. This is important, because the moon phase depends upon the moon’s relation to both the earth and the sun. If you place the sun to the left of the earth, you would have to move all of the moon phases to match this new position. The relationship of these three bodies is important, but the actual determination of right or left side is arbitrary. The earth orbits the sun and the sun is never at a stationary “left or right” in relation to the earth.
A:
Make a 2D chart or a 3D chart. Know the phases of the moon. Place Earth in the center of your chart. Place the sun on your chart.
