Do you write all the mistakes first? Do you start at the beginning and then flesh out each path as you write those choices? I have found that it’s easiest to write the ideal path from start to finish first.

Every day, 10,000 Americans turn 65. Many associations operate with the assumption that they’ll lose these aging members to retirement.
