There are primarily two kinds of plastic to choose from when it comes to creating a stencil--acetate and Mylar.  They both do the job well, it's simply a matter of preference, so check them out at your local craft store to see which appeals to you  These films come in clear and color, are available by the sheet or by the roll and some even have an adhesive backing. Check the surface to be sure it accepts pen or pencil well so that you can easily draw or trace your design.  Look for plastic that has a matte finish as this surface will typically work with graphic or ink. Acetate does have a couple of disadvantages if you're making a stencil that you plan to keep.  With time it develops a yellow or grayish cast and its edges have a tendency to curl. Repurpose your old x-rays.  Put those old plastic films to a new use as a material for your stencil design.

Q: Some genres, such as fantasy, science fiction, and mystery, are more amenable to a series than others, like romance or commercial fiction. Decide whether your concept fits into the former or the latter.  Children’s and young adult fiction are other genres that are suitable for series building. Some publishers prefer fantasy series over individual fantasy novels, because fantasy series tend to sell better than standalone fantasy books. You will have to decide whether you are interested in writing one large story broken into several books, such as the Harry Potter series or a group of stand-alone books featuring the same characters, such as Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot mysteries. Making this decision will help you figure out whether you will plot each book separately, or whether you will try to have an overarching storyline between the books.  Did you just finish a novel and don’t want to say goodbye your main characters? Or, have you developed a fantastic plot that is so wide-ranging it needs to be told over several installments? The former motivation could lead to a long-running series, like a group of mystery novels, while the latter could lead to a trilogy.  You will also need to figure out whether you will have an ensemble cast that appears throughout the series, or whether you will primarily have a main character who meets new characters in each book. To help you plan out the series, create a writing timeline with deadlines and due dates. Determine how much time per week or per day you are going to devote to writing the book series. Have deadlines for completed chapters or for a certain page count so you are encouraged to complete the book series.  For example, you may have a goal page count per week that you have to hit. Or you may have a certain number of chapters you have to complete every month so you can get the book series done. You will need to be prepared to write and publish frequently as a series writer. Your audience will want to know what happens next to your characters. You also don’t want your readers to move on to other books or series if they get tired of waiting for your next installment.
A: Choose a genre for the series. Consider the type of series you will write. Make a writing timeline.

Article: Place the gooseberries into a bowl. Cover them with 17.64 ounces (500 grams) of sugar, then gently toss to combine. Place a tight-fitting lid over the bowl, or cover it with a sheet of plastic wrap. Let the bowl sit undisturbed overnight in the fridge, then stir the sugar and gooseberries the following morning. Over time, the gooseberries will release juice into the sugar and turn it into syrup. They are ready once they sink to the bottom of the bowl. This will take 1 to 2 days. Remember to store the bowl in the fridge. Scoop the gooseberries out of the bowl with a slotted spoon. Let the excess syrup drip back into the bowl, then place the gooseberries into a plate or tray. Spread them out evenly so they don't touch or clump. You are ready for the next step when the candy i dry and no moisture is left. This will typically take 3 to 4 days.

Problem: Article: Coconut flour works well as a binder in recipes where you'd normally use ingredients like cracker or bread crumbs, such as meatloaf. However, you will need to double the liquid in the recipe because the coconut flour will absorb so much of it. Some people have good luck using it to thicken sauces, while others do not. In fact, some cooks recommend not trying it at all. However, you should experiment and see what works for you. You may find it works well as a thickener for your purposes. Don't forget that coconut flour will absorb more liquid than wheat flour, though, so only try a little bit at a time. If you want to make coconut chicken or shrimp, coconut flour makes a good base. Simply dip the meat into an egg wash first (whisked egg), then dip it into the coconut flour. You can also season it with salt and pepper. Next, dip it back into the egg, then roll it in coconut flakes. Finally, fry the meat as normal in oil.
Summary: Add it as a binder for meatloaf and meatballs. Experiment with using it in sauces. Use it as a base for coconut shrimp or chicken.

Article: Sometimes, depression can make someone feel isolated, alone, or withdrawn from others. Spending time with people you care about is one of the easiest ways to reduce stress and feel better and more balanced in your mood. Spend time with friends and family in person as much as you can. While technology makes texting or emailing easy, you’ll benefit more from seeing someone face-to-face.  Have a weekly get-together with friends or family over dinner. Meet your friends for a workout class or for coffee. You may find that socializing wears you out more quickly when you're depressed. It is okay to rest and have alone time afterward, just make sure that you are socializing regularly and not isolating yourself. Exercise is a great way to beat stress, feel energized, and balance your mood. In some studies, exercise is just as effective as medication in treating mild to moderate depression. Schedule your exercise during a part of the day when your energy is highest. This may be first thing in the morning or during your lunch break. If you don’t like going to the gym, focus on other physical activities that you enjoy.   For example, take a morning walk with your dog or start attending karate classes.  Don’t be afraid to start small. Even 10 minutes each day is better than nothing. Feeling relaxed can help you cope with the symptoms of depression, deal with stress, and increase your feelings of well-being. Spending time relaxing can help you work through stress and help to stabilize your moods. Aim to do a relaxing activity for 30 minutes each day. Watching TV doesn’t count! Find relaxation methods that feel good to you. Try  daily yoga, qi gong, tai chi, and meditation. Feeling depressed can make you isolate yourself and withdraw from activities you enjoy. Do something you enjoy or try a new hobby and stick with it, even when you dread leaving the house. Doing something you enjoy can help boost your mood and increase your self-esteem. Creating something (like woodwork or sewing) can bring satisfaction.  Try painting, planting a garden, or learning a new language. If you feel like skipping the activity, try telling yourself you will just go for 20 or 30 minutes and then you can leave if you're still not feeling it. You may find that, once you get over the hump of getting out, you will enjoy yourself and want to stay. The foods you put into your body can affect how you feel. Avoid substances such as tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, and sugar, as these can affect your mood. Focus on eating several small meals throughout the day in order to maintain your energy levels. Pay attention to your nutrition to make sure you are eating healthy, balanced meals that contribute to your health, not take away from it. If you struggle with eating healthfully or have dietary restrictions, consider working with a dietician to help you eat better.
