I have a notebook that for the past few years I would write in now and again. When I decided a few weeks ago to start working on my book again, I pulled out said notebook because I knew that I had at least 3 chapters written in it. Since that time I have apparently misplaced the notebook (I say misplaced because it sounds better than lost). I have been frantically searching the house for the past few days in search of it. I have even gotten the kids involved in the search. So far the notebook is still misplaced.
It's not as though I really need the words written in that notebook to get started on writing again. It's not even as though whatever was written in there was so marvelous and wonderful that I can't rewrite it or leave it out altogether. But I want to find that notebook for the sake of finding it. For now at least I have decided to stop looking for it and just write as though I had never written anything in that "misplaced" notebook.
