Each company has different procedures, but generally if you file a lot of small claims that can be problematic. Statistically, most people only file a claim every 8 to 10 years, so if you're filing more than that you stand out.
alone books given happen next people understand
You have to understand that while I pre-plot the meta story of a given book, I often have no idea of what will happen on the next page, let alone the next chapter. That's what makes it fun for me; I write the books the same way many people read them.
