Story Help about Picking Locks?
Okay so nothing illegal or anything lol. I am writing a story and one of my characters is a thief. Phebes is a famous thief there is nothing he cant pick.
When I write I like to know what I am actually writing about. So since my book with Phebes is about pirates I learned about pirates, how to shoot guns, and fencing. I suck at fencing but at least I know how to write about it now.
So I was taking the same approach with lock picking. My grandpa who wanted to help me, bought me a whole bunch of old safes, and lock boxes for cheap at some garage sale, so that I can learn how.
So here is my problem I know how to do the combination locks now, and how to pick a lock into opening it, but I cant figure out how to close it again. And for that matter would a thief close the safe after he robed who ever or just leave it open?
Does anyone know? And if you know something else like would they work in the area they lived in or some place further, you know anything to help make Phebes be a believable thief. Don't worry none of this will be used for evil, beside i am no coordinated enough.
thanks again!

2 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoWhat would you do if....?
Okay so I am curious about something my mom and dad always told me. They used to always tell me that if a man was to come up to me in a parking lot with a gun, and he said he would shoot if I did not go with him. That I should scream, take the shot and wait for help, instead of god knows what. To them its better to chance it then being kidnapped. Now I know that sounds horrible but I want to know what you would do?
Would you go with the man, or chance the shot and wait for help?
7 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoProblem when making French Toast....?
Okay so I used to be rather good, when making French Toast. However I haven't done it in a long while. Today I saw a show where they had French Toast strips, so I decided to make some. It ended horribly. (they didn't cook all the way and were runny, but if I left them on longer they would have burned)
So I am wondering was it because I cut the bread into strips, or if I missed an ingredient.
I use one egg for each slice of bread
milk
Cinnamon.
Thanks in advance for any help, at getting my French Toast Mojo back, lol.
11 AnswersCooking & Recipes1 decade agoQuestion about babies and pregnancy?
Okay so I am currently working on a story. (Also an assignment for class) Anyways my main character is pregnant in the beginning. She becomes depressed since the father of her child, and the love of her life, decided she wasn't worth his time. So she becomes malnourished. The baby only lives for one week, before it dies.
I am supposed to build my character after a traumatic event, but the problem is I don't know why the baby would die? I mean my sister had a complication during labor and her child was still born, but I am not even sure why that happened.
I know this is a depressing subject but I could really use some help. Thanks in advance.

6 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agowriting and publishing help?
Okay I was wondering if there was any good websites that help with writing stories then publishing them. They don't have to be the same, if you know of a website that can help with either of those can you please help me out.

However all the website I have looked at seem to be mostly scams. I need help. So if any one can help with organizing, editing, and publishing I would greatly appreciate it.

3 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoHelp fighting off depression!?
I have been depressed for two months, and it is well (lack of a better word) depressing. I have tried a lot of things to get out of it, but it doesn't work.
I don't want to tell anyone, I am good at hiding that much. However it would be nice to fix whatever it is that is wrong. I can't go to my doctor because I would need my parents for that.

2 AnswersMovies1 decade agoI Need Help, Please Read Any Advice Wanted/Needed!!!!?
I love to draw, it is one of my favorite past times. However lately I have found that I lack in one area, to be more exact the more original area. Now don't get me wrong I am very good at describing my OC's down to their vices. Its just when ever I pick up a pen/pencil to draw it just looks bad, there is just no way to sugar code it.
When I draw characters from shows/movies they look good. I find that its only when they are my own the turn horrible bad.
Here is a link to one of my not so bad OCs
