So,Today, I've completely undone the entire house looking for a short scene I wrote for one of my stories. It was insane, I was writing this story and I remembered I'd jotted down a scene from this story in a notebook. I just couldn't remember which one. Since I just have to know what it is I'd written on the notebook, I start looking for it. One second I'm on my computer typing away, the next second, I'm kneeling next to a bookshelf undoing notebooks and going through them, searching.
I've checked every notebook I've owned, since....forever. Even some I'm sure I haven't touched in years, but for some reason, I just kept thinking I might have written this scene on them. I finally find the notebook on a pile on my desk, but now the entire house is a mess. All the bookshelves are undone. My friend who stays with me walks in and she just wants to kill me. If I'd just checked my desk first, and done it more slowly, all these would be avoided. The notebooks on the floor, and on the couches look like they're part of the decor but, since I have my scene now, I'm good. I have clean up duty for the next two days. Lol .
My question is, does this happen to anyone else, or just me.. it's insanity I tell you.
Do share your writing hang-ups and adventures with me.
