Use spellcheck to fix your spelling mistakes, typos, and grammatical errors. For words in foreign languages and for slang, use a dictionary and the internet to make sure you are spelling correctly.  Edit each sentence so that there is only one space after the period. You can do a find-replace search to determine this. Edit for consistency. Check for consistent tense and point of view, as well as consistent character voice. Make sure the timeline of events makes sense, and that no facts or plot points change without explanation across the manuscript. As a very basic example, a character who has died should not reappear casually. Use a website to conduct a word-search and learn which words you use the most frequently. Look for overused language as well as overused kinds of language. Do you use a lot of adverbs? A lot of abstract nouns? Search for the words you use frequently and see if they are applied too frequently to the same thing.  Review your descriptions especially. How do different characters get introduced? Check for bias. Are all your female characters described in terms of looks? Do you always describe eyes as "glinting" or "bright"? Edit repetitive language to keep your sentences fresh. You are ready to submit your manuscript, but to where? Make a list of the presses and agents you would like to read your book. If you already have an agent, your agent will look at presses for you, and will tell you how to format your manuscript. Otherwise, you should follow the guidelines of the presses you are interested in. This may mean you must format several versions of your manuscript differently.  Check the spacing each press requires. Some may prefer single-spaced manuscripts, while others ask for double or 1.5. What sort of margins are allowed? How long should indentations be? Are there guidelines for section headings? Where should page numbers go? Check that your font and font size are acceptable. Format your citations according to the publisher's preference for an academic manuscript. If you are submitting to a contest, check to see if your manuscript must be anonymous. If so, edit your name out of the text. Proofread the format. Are all the titles in the right place? Is dialogue indicated with appropriate and consistent formatting? Are the page numbers in place? If you are submitting online, should your document be a word document? A pdf? Submit according to guidelines. This may be via mail, or over a press's website.

One-sentence summary -- Proofread thoroughly. Do a word-search. Format according to recommendations.


As a last resort, you can try to use streaming websites on your Android device. This can be difficult as most of these sites are not designed for mobile use and are often clogged with ads. Some of the more popular sites include World Wide Internet TV, Live TV Cafe, and Stream2Watch. Most sites list all the programs that are currently playing, and you can use the search function to find exactly what you want. Many of these sites specialize in programming from across the globe. Clicking on a stream will usually open another tab that attempts to trick you into downloading something. Close the new tab to return to your stream, which may take a few moments to load. The stream itself may be obscured by ads as well, and you will need to zoom in and hunt for the "X" buttons to close them.

One-sentence summary -- Open a streaming website in your device's browser. Find the program you want to watch. Beware of popups.


When you walk into a room full of strangers, it can be hard to figure out how to break in. Watching people you don't know talk and laugh with each other may seem intimidating. But each person there is an individual, just like you, and they're all just trying to get to know people and have a good time. A lot of people dread having to make small talk with strangers, but there's another way to look at mingling. If you can come to the situation with a real desire to get to know people, meeting and chatting with them will suddenly seem a lot more interesting and enjoyable. Think of each party or gathering as an opportunity to meet people with all sorts of intriguing histories, interests and passions. Remember, everyone has something to teach you. Engaging with and connecting to other people is fun. That's why people have parties in the first place. Before entering the event, prepare and remind yourself to do some of the following things:  Dress appropriately so you do not worry about being over or underdressed. The right clothes can boost your confidence and be a conversation starter. Brush your teeth and freshen up so you do not have to worry about your breath or cowlick. Try to be rested. Take a nap if the event is later in the day. It's a lot harder to mingle when you're tired. Eat a meal before you go. You'll feel more energized and you'll be less likely to eat or drink too much at the party. Don’t drink too much. Sometimes people think they need alcohol to loosen up. While a little can help, too much can be detrimental. Remember to take it easy and drink water between drinks. Take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Remind yourself that you were invited for a reason: to mingle and have fun. If you're lucky, there will be a few people at the social gathering you'd like to get to know better. Don't be afraid to exchange numbers so you can hang out at a later time. Next time you both find yourself at the same party, you'll have someone to talk to.
