One small problem developed. I forgot what it was.
It never occurred to me to write the idea down. It wasn't as if I even said to myself, "I should write this down." It was just like, this is so perfect and there was no thought in my head that I would ever, not in a million years, forget the idea.
Yeah.
I hoped that re-reading the scene would job my memory, but it didn't. I thought rereading the scene before it might might do the trick. It didn't. So instead of writing this, I wrote what I was able to come up with. I'm so sad.
I'd love to say that I've learned my lesson and will never do this again. That I will always and forever make notes on everything that I think I'll need, but I know that I won't do this.
I'm going to console myself with the idea that if it really had been brilliant and perfect, that I would have remembered it for longer than the few hours that it stayed in my mind. That if it was meant to be, it would have come back to me when I re-read what I'd already written. ::sobs::
