    Don't hesitate to ask anymore questions.

    To include absolutes effectively, you will need to make sure your initial sentence is descriptive. To include appositives, you will need plenty of nouns.

    2 sides - same length as the mentor feature articles we have been using. Next Fri completely finished, but you should have completely written it by next Monday - rest of the week will be editing.
