I got mail today from the Hartford company. They wanted me to increase my coverage. Well I don't have any insurance with them. Then I noticed it was addressed to a friend of my mom's. This guy almost 10 years ago. He was someone I really didn't like. Still I thought it would be a good idea to let them know he had died. The guy I was talking to didn't understand me at first. He thought I wanted to make a claim. He asked me how the guy died. I told him it was from a brain hemorrhage. Sir, this policy is for accidental death only. Well I am sure he didn't have a brain hemorrhage on purpose. The guy was not amused and i didn't get my $10K.  Oh well at least i wont get his SPAM from them anymore. |

That's ridiculous! Watch, then you'd be busted for credit card fraud or something.  |

lol, for you but I usually start with the end or a concept. I have no idea what happens in between but the end I know. XD

I hate writing beginnings of stories, always so hard, even when you know the character. XD

Well, your beginnings don't have to be your true beginnings. Mine never are. I think they are at the time (or I used to) but I always end up r/wing them a half dozen times or so. As long as they provide a jumping off point, they've done their job. If you think of it that way, it might help free you up a bit. Or not.  |

Thats what I've been trying to do. XD I just hate doing it, even though I know I'll rewrite it anyways. XD
