title: Why is my first .nextline in the loop skipped then not skipped the next time around? and how do I stop it from overwriting?
body: <p>I needed to create a basic program to input text to a .txt document so I created this but I don't see why the first question is skipped when the program is first run.</p>
  
  <p>It doesn't happen if the first question that sets the loop isn't there. Also how do I stop it from overwriting what is already there in the txt document when all I want it to do is add to it.</p>
  
  <p>So far the last method seems to work far but I thought I would still include it.</p>
