Define “this” a bit more clearly, and we might be able to help?
I just cant seem to get my article right. Maybe i should delete it and try something else instead. Its frustrating as the subject is what I do and what I have been studying and practising for like forever and I am gutted that I am having trouble explaining. Thankyou Lois i do hope you can help or like I said just try something a lot more simple

So tell us what your article should be about? You know, you don’t have to write the whole thing alone. For me too, that’s incredibly hard to do, even if it’s a subject that i’m sure i know a lot of. Why don’t you post a link to your draft or tell us the Title of the article? There’s probably multiple people willing to jump onto and help you with it. And even if you can do it alone - why should you not enjoy the collaborative nature of this website? Especially if you are an expert on the Subject of the Article, People will be thrilled to work with and listen to you while helping you formulate the article.

Okay… I just looked your article over, and there are a couple of things that might help. 1 - NAB (New Article Boost) has not yet gotten to your article. Those folks are quite good at tidying up an article and getting it into the proper “How To” formatting for wikiHow. So… that’s one area we know will get tidied up soon. 2 - A couple of “rules of thumb”… The article software will AUTOMATICALLY number the steps. You don’t need to type stuff like “first…” “Second…” “Third…” etc. 3 - Start every new step with an actionable word… “Fan the cards”… “Study the layout”… etc. 4 - I almost hesitate to link you to the Writers Guide, as it’s kind of long… but this is something that helped me when I was first starting out on wikiHow. http://www.wikihow.com/wikiHow:Writer’s-Guide
I think I’ll stop now… There’s lots of other helpful links I can toss at you, but I don’t want to overwhelm! Feel free to ping my talk page if you need more specific assistance. http://www.wikihow.com/User_talk:Loiswade42
