Sometimes We Forget...
Apr. 10th, 2009 09:31 amYesterday I had an odd little moment. I'm still writing on fanfic (I'm beyond slow and it's shameful how little progress I make. But, I do try). Anyway, while in the drive-thru at Chick-Fil-A, I had the idea for how to correct a line I have been agonizing over. Searching the car, I found a small discarded notebook shoved into one of the pockets behind the drivers seat and found a pen to jot down my thought. When I opened the notebook, I found it filled with the early ruminations for the plot of "Arriving Somewhere Not Here." It's weird seeing it over a year later.
Then, I found a scene that I had absolutely no memory of having written! It was a little Lindsey scene with info that -- strange because I wrote the scene -- I had no knowledge of. I mean it was filled with detail like what church his parents attended! Actually, I rather like the scene and will happily use it (If I ever reach that point in the story) . It's just really weird to find a scene that I had written and that I had totally forgotten. It was like reading someone else's work.
