Being a wanna be writer is tough. First of all the dreaded punctuation. When your writing who wants to think about commas, periods, paragraphs and spacing. They just interrupt your thoughts process.
The there’s the dreaded spelling just another thought destroyer. Of course there’s spellcheck but you have to look at the screen and stop writing. Best to just blast through it and do it when finished, but the biggest obstacle is finishing what you start. How often a great start to your story but you never finish. I’ve started hundreds but never finished one. So I started a new one titled “Beginning to End”. Here goes.
In the beginning. Wait I can’t start out writing about the beginning without know how it ends. So let’s skip to the end. Thus the end finally occurred or was it the beginning. I’m confused. We better understand what happens after the end which also starts out to be the beginning. Wait that can’s be rite. Let’s try again. Before the beginning there was the end. That’s better. It all makes sense now. Well it did a minute ago until I needed to start at the end. Let’s get trippy. In the beginning was there nothing or no-thing. A debate for the ages. I’m not nearly astute enough to recognize no-thing is the opposite of nothing. I think. So in the beginning no-thing or nothing which leads us to the end of the book. I sure of it. No-thing is much more perfect than nothing.
As one ole boy philosophized.

A Good Place to Start
How do you know if this is the rite place. Well you don’t. If you did you would have started on Chapter 20.
This is where the truth reveals itself. “Smile you’re on Candid Camera”.
The genius of Alan Lunt caught all of America in a realistic dogmatic portrait of the early beginnings of the Universe as we know it.
Jumping out of the camera into your living rooms rivaled the wanna be “Ed Sullivan Show”. Topo Gigio, ” give me a break”. (I am sure this is incorrect punctuation).
The intellectual equivalent of agent Maxwell Smart. “Get Smart” answered all the questions except why is cleavage so enticing.
It’s like the universe with nipples. You can’t look away. Not to be confused with looking at an eclipse of the sun.
So god new a good nipple was far more important than any eclipse.
The question is; was Eve naked or did she show a little cleavage. The cleavage got god horny and Adam hard.
So in the beginning was there cleavage or no cleavage. The ancient question has inspired the debate over no-thing or nothing.
So as Plato speculated cleavage started it all or did no cleavage end it all. This question has puzzled men or women of science since the beginning.
A tight cocktail dress or a wet t-shirt can it ever be answered?
