I forgot to bring my notebook home from the office, so the words I painstakingly bled out are lying abandoned and forlorn in a building a refuse to step into once I've left for the day, just out of principle. I could try to write the same gist from memory. Actually, I did use a lot of brackets, which is something I do when the word choice isn't quite right but I can't be bothered to stop and figure out a better alternative right then. So having the exact words wouldn't be helpful anyway.
My mind's already skipping ahead to the next story I want to work on, but I'll exercise some discipline and buckle down on this one. Notebooks are good for writerly monogamy. I used to mix up multiple stories on a single page, but when the time came to type it up, I'd be horribly confused. So now I always feel committed to a story for at least an entire page. (Never min that I only use small notebooks.)
I guess I'll poke at a different scene and see if I can tickle it into submission.
