Summarize the following:
You may already know what you’d like to contain in the first scene in terms of plot and character introduction, but are unsure of the exact moment, the perfect bit of dialogue, or the opening narrative fact with which to bring your reader into the fold. Identifying this moment may require a bit of reflection on your part.  The beginning is important because it lures your reader into the story. Even if the opening scene is not important to the plot, it needs to be interesting. Hook your reader within a few pages, or better yet: a few paragraphs. While there are no concrete rules for how a love story needs to begin, there are some narrative tropes that continue to melt hearts.  Among them; consider the implication of an oncoming challenge to one of the story’s love interests, a dramatic change in circumstances, or a blatant threat to a character or a relationship between characters. A common route here is a moment in which danger or the threat of danger are recognized or experienced by a character who will be featured prominently in your story. Another great option for starting your story is choosing a moment that will immediately pull the reader into the story line with a compelling action sequence in the opening scene of your story. Make sure that any initial action sequences are readily comprehensible. There doesn’t even have to be any actual danger; it is more than enough to simply convey a sense of peril that the reader can relate too. Though you may be tempted to get the story rolling, keep initial action sequences simple.  Maintain a focus on luring the reader in, without asking them to do too much thinking. In order to actually portray the moment most dramatically, consider why the moment is worth starting your story with.  Literally ask yourself, “Why should my story start with this moment?”  List all of the reasons, including the specific relevance of the moment to each major character and to your anticipated plot developments. Look over the list and identify the most compelling links between this moment and other aspects of your story.

summary: Choose the moment your readers will enter the story. Introduce suspense on the very first page. Excite the reader with immediate action. Question your own decision.

Choose a container with a lid that will form a tight seal, such as a piece of tupperware or a canning jar. This will keep unwanted moisture from getting into the flour, which can cause clumping and allow bacteria or mold to set up.  Use a container or separate lid with a built-in pour spout to make it easier to measure out the flour for recipes. Limit the number of times you transfer the rice flour to a different container to minimize the amount of air it receives. When kept covered and dry at room temperature, grain flours will stay fresh for weeks. They can last even longer in the refrigerator or freezer, where they'll be protected from unnecessary exposure.  For optimal flavor and texture, try to use your rice flour within 1-2 weeks. Refrigerate the flour with a box of baking soda to prevent it from absorbing odors from other stored foods. Brown rice flour makes an excellent substitute for conventional wheat flour in all gluten-free dishes. Use homemade four to bake cookies, cakes or brownies, whip up a batch of rustic pancakes for breakfast or even bind fresh pasta or crabcakes. Rice contains less sugar than wheat, and is also packed with beneficial vitamins and nutrients.  Look up new gluten-free recipes for ideas and inspiration on how to use a fresh batch of brown rice flour.  Stir brown rice flour into soups, sauces and gravies to help thicken them.

summary: Place the brown rice flour in an airtight container. Store the flour in the pantry or refrigerator. Incorporate brown rice flour into your favorite recipes. Finished.


Summarize the following:
It may seem like a cliché, but finding a smear of lip gloss in a shade you don't wear on his shirt is a good sign that he's cheating. Smelling another woman's perfume on his hair or clothing is another warning sign. If you notice a lipstick stain or strange perfume on your boyfriend once, it may just be from a friend or relative, so you shouldn't necessarily worry. However, if it happens more than once, you may have cause for concern. When a guy starts seeing a new woman, he often starts to take more pride in his appearance, so he may starting working out more, using self-tanner, or whitening his teeth. If his grooming routine begins to change, it may mean that he's seeing someone else. A guy who's cheating may shower more often because he's trying to wash away another woman's perfume, so if your boyfriend is suddenly showering two or more times a day, you may have reason to be concerned. Most of us have our phones with us at all times, so there's nothing suspicious if that's the case with your boyfriend. However, if he never lets it out of his sight so he even takes it to the bathroom with him, that may be a sign that he's hiding something like another girl. Even people who are in a relationship deserve privacy, so it's never a good idea to go through your boyfriend's phone to look at the call log, text messages, or emails. That's true even if you suspect that he's cheating. There's nothing wrong with having a Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and/or other social media account. However, if your boyfriend is constantly scrolling through his Twitter or Instagram feed, it may be a sign that he's no longer committed to your relationship.  If your boyfriend is a social media addict, he may be using the apps to communicate with other girls or even meet new people. Just as with his phone, you should respect your boyfriend's privacy even when you're suspicious. Don't try to figure out his social media passwords, so you can go through his accounts. That's a classic sign that he has something to hide, particularly if he always used to leave them open before. He may be calling or texting another girl and trying to prevent you from finding out. Even if your boyfriend isn't closing doors in order to communicate with other people, it can still be a sign of a problem in your relationship because it signifies emotional distance. If friends and family members that you trust start dropping hints that your boyfriend may be seeing someone on the side, you may want to evaluate your relationship and see if there may be truth to their suspicions. Always consider the source when it comes to accusations that your boyfriend is cheating. Some friends and family members may be genuinely concerned about you, but others may be letting their own baggage affect their perception. For example, if you have a friend who's recently had a significant other cheat on her, she may be more likely to accuse your guy, even if he's done nothing wrong.
summary: Look for obvious evidence of another woman. Take note of changes to his physical appearance. Notice if he is obsessed with his phone. Watch out if he's always on social media. Notice if he's constantly closing doors behind him. Listen to warnings from your friends.
