I have found the notebooks! Not without much running around panicking because they weren't in either of the two places I would have left them to keep them out of sight of visitors earlier this year. Except they were, just in a stack of other boxes.

I even seem to have at least some notes for a short story sequence I'd started writing just before I stopped being able to use a computer at all for several months.

[wiseheart]

Oh God, that desperate seeking sounds so familiar! There isn't a week something like that wouldn't happen to me, either with writing or with crafting. And I perform that madness on a mere 14 square metres, evenly distributed between two rooms. *g*

I hope you can use those notes for a story.

Excellent! What a relief to find them!
Good luck with those notes and the writing!

I'm glad you found the notebooks. I often find things are where I thought they were, but just hiding under something, but there's still that moment of panic and the looking everywhere else before I spot them.

I did some more work on that tiny ficlet, which is a sad one about smiles. It's strange how sometimes the very very small take as much work as much longer stories, but when every single word counts and has to be counted...

I also got a spooky idea last thing before bed. Scribbled it down and then tried to forget it till morning because I have learned the hard way that it is NOT a good idea to mull over spooky stories, even in a creative way, just before falling asleep and dreaming.

[akane42me]

I agree wholeheartedly, if you want those dribbles and drabbles to be powerful, not just a string of tossed-off words, it is indeed a challenge.

I hope you had sweet dreams:)

[sallymn]

The dreams were fine, I rarely have bad dreams even when I expect (or even 'ask' for) them :)

[wiseheart]

That was probably a wise decision. No need to generate nightmares if you can avoid it.

[itsanonyx]

107 words for today. :o)

[wiseheart]

Nice! That's more than a drabble already.

[sallymn]

Well done! All progress is good progress.

[akane42me]

That is good progress!

[sallymn]

It is, isn't it?

[heleninwales]

It's Day 3 now and I haven't written any words yet because I had to go out this morning. Well, I have written, but it's notes on paper so I can't count them until they're typed up.

On Day 2 I wrote 522 words, which is really good and brought me back on target.

[wiseheart]

That is a good word count indeed. And notes on paper count, too.

[heleninwales]

The notes have now been typed up, so I can count them properly.

[sallymn]

That's terrific, well done on the progress!
